I just went through my bags of meds

Holy crud that's a lot of stuff! 

17..yes 17, syringes!  Big needles, little needles.  2 boxes of Gonal-F, 7 vials of Menopur, 5 boxes of Ganirelix, 1 vial of HCG, 1 vial of progesterone, 42 capsules to stick up my hoo-ha.  I just went over everything with hubby and he looks like he got hit with a mack truck.

3 ectopic pregnancies (EDD's 1/30/12-tube removed, 6/2/12-methotrexate and 10/2/12-methotrexate)
IVF and Natural FET resulted in BFN's and a hole in our wallets
Natural BFP #4 on 9/7/12 gave us our miracle on 5/18/13

    Remember that first box of meds well.... just make sure you do a full inventory to make sure it is all there and what needs to be it the fridge gets into the fridge. GL with your cycle!

    Multiple ectopics, 2 failed IVF's
    IVF #1: Did not get to ET, embies all failed PGD (major chromosomal defects)
    IVF #2: We have 2 chromosomally perfect embies as a result of PGD (Boy/Girl) 1 failed the thaw (Girl) Transferred 1, yet ended as a c/p
    Thought it was the end of our TTC Journey 6/20/2012
    SHOCK BFP 9/28/2012: IT'S A BOY! and everything is normal !!!!!!

    Little A born 38w 2d on 05/23/13 and is a true miracle for this IF Vet!

    Wow sounds like a lot, Good Luck. I start my cycle late this month, but what are the capsules for? I don't remember my IVF coordinator mentioning that to me.

    My nurse said the only item needing refrigeration is the Gonal-F.

    They are progesterone suppositories.  I do 4 days of progesterone injections and then switch to suppositories.

    Welcome to IVF! Its a little daunting at first but somehow you get used to it and it will feel like a normal routine. 

    Good luck!

    Right?? I took over the canned good cabinet for my non-fridge ones. DH jokes that when he goes to get a can of tuna he is afraid he is going to stick himself. No one ever mentioned having a good place to put them BEFORE they arrived!

    Love the new avatar! I am feeling so out-dated now...

    #1 IUI: 1/18/12 = BFN
    #1 IVF/ICSI 4/2/12 = 2 x 7-cell and 1 x 5-cell transferred (3dt) = BFP!!
    H was born at 41w2d on 12/29/12 - be still my heart!

    I had to line everything up for a good photo op when it all arrived. Now I just keep it all on the kitchen counter.

    It is scary but thankfully you don't have to use them all at once. Gonal-F does need to be in the fridge.

    I don't know why I can see the pic but then it doesn't appear to be there. PIPing from the IPad is hard

    It does look like you have more than me, but I'm guessing everyone is different.  What are the big boxes on the right and the small ones on the bottom?
