This morning I managed to spray 2/3 of my dose of stims all over the front of my shirt! I have a 9:20 train to catch this morning so @Manada and I are rushing to the clinic to get more bravelle and menopur. Argh! I'm sure this kind of mishap is not entirely uncommon but why did it have to be this morning when I have no extra meds at home and have to make this train? (Feel free to laugh "with" me on this one)

We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.
Our IUIs with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.
Our IVFs: IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response
IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014 BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225) 2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition. BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255 1st ultrasound (3/6 6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm.

FET #1 December 2014
Intralipid infusion on Dec 10. Transfer of 1 day 3 nine-cell embryo into my uterus on Dec. 19. (acupuncture immediately before and after)

Oh my goodness! I am definitely laughing with you on this one; however, that is a heck of a way to start your morning! I had this continual fear that we would do the same thing when I was stimming, and I think it is a miracle that it never happened. I was a nervous wreck the whole time, so I made my wife play chemist and nurse and mix and inject all meds for me while I was stimming. Hopefully by the end of the day (once you have gotten your meds and taken them, and you are safely on your train, and the day has hopefully calmed down for you a bit) you will look back on this chaotic morning and just laugh. You seem to have a good attitude about it. Hugs to you and M!

Thanks folks. That was a whirlwind but I made my train with 10 minutes to spare. The nurse at the clinic was very nice and helped me quickly and M drove safely but like the wind to get me to the clinic and then the train.

It was a pretty intense morning, I'm exhausted, and totally not showered at work now (I make up for it by wearing a skirt today so my "teacher bun" doesn't look too out of place" --- but I am SO appreciative that the nurse at the clinic was so kind and FAST for us this morning. I feel like sending her a personal thank you card - because there are some nurses there who I was dreading seeing!
This kind of mishap isn't that uncommon (I see it on the IF board from time to time)... it happens, the needle tip slips out and the pressure in the vial makes it spray. But take heed! H's Settler's of Catan t-shirt just got a heck of a lot more valuable this morning!
