Appt to discuss injects Thurs

2bKEdwards · June 2010

Any specific questions I should ask? I'm hoping the IUI works and I won't need the info, but I didn't want to waste a cycle waiting for an appt.

Do they usually go over the actual injections themself or is that pretty self explanatory if you've done the trigger before?

IMO, pretty self-explanatory. I didn't really have an "appointment" to go over them so I can't really give you any ideas.

My Follistim came with a video that we watched and it gave me all the info I needed.

Hope you don't need it!

Village Pharmacy has Great videos of each med.

They will probably just explain what your protocol is. My RE took one step at at a time. The nurse showed me how to inject the Lupron a few days before it started then waited a few days before stims to show me how to do that. She also had me practice.

My RE just went over how to do the injections at home. I took Bravelle injections for 3 days at home and took them in the evening and was told to put them in my stomach at a angle. Bruising may occur and burning. then on day 5 i did the hcg trigger shot at home as well and then the 7th day i went back for the IUI procedure and now i'm waiting the 2 week period.

Wow that was quick! You had the IUI on CD7? Good luck!

I hope you don't need them, but injects are super easy. I had done Ovidrel before (w/CC), so I just kind of looked over the printed instructions and it was not bad. GL!
