OOPs .. forgot one more thing. I wanted to ask who was told to take Baby Asprin and when they were told to start taking it. I asked my RE and she said I could if I wanted .. but, there is no real scientific evidence that it makes a difference. However, I have read other opinions.

Thank you again everyone.

Tara.

Thats a good idea too, I am not really a big fan of yogurt. I keep going in the fridge and taking a swig, easier than staring at a glass and knowing I have to finish it...LOL. Although I do like the drinkable yogurt more than regular yogurt.

I was just on this thread yesterday and I can't keep up. Sorry I can't help out sometimes when evryone has questions b/c by the time I get here someone has already gave a great answer.

Thanks for the yogurt idea. I can't go without it ever.Does anyone know when we have to start the antibiotics during the process

Someone on here said they were on 20iu of Lupron. I'm only on 10iu is this ok?

Tara-- I started my baby asprin the same day as my 1st lupron shop and the RN said I will continue for awhile.

Elizabeth-- I also had cramps a few days before I stopped my BCPs and I started 4 days after my last pill. I really cramped and spotted almost the whole time. My RE said it was ok b/c thats usually what happens if you have not taken BCP's in awhile.

I've been on Lupron since Tuesday so 5 days and I go in Tuesday for them to tell me if I can start my Gonal-f. I think after Tuesday I will be more stressed then ever b/c then I'll start worrying if I'll produce enough good eggs. This is so scary.

Giggles-- Gook Luck tommorrw keep us updated

Oh sorry one more thing I think we are supposed to eat pinapple and drink grape juice starting after ER. Is that the only thing they say to eat and drink and how much of each??

I have seen different protocols for the antibiotics. For all 3 of my fresh IVF's I started them day before ER. For this FET I am starting them today (which technically would be my ER day since I am transfering a 5 day blast on Thursday)

For each cycle I did Lupron I started with 10 units of Lupron and eventually dropped to 5, so I think you are just fine.

The other thing my last clinic told me was to get gatorade and eat protein after transfer and during 2WW .. I think it helps prevent OHSS.

Good morning girls!

I'm not a big fan of yogurt, but I do like the drinkable yogurt better, too.....but thanks for sharing about the pills, that may be an option!

Yes, for those of you who know about grape juice and pineapple, please share for us newbies! When to start? How much? and how often?

Thinking and for Jennifer (Giggles) today!!! Have a good day everyone!
