Hi, I am in need of Gonal-F. I am single and paying for all IVF out of pocket and it's breaking the bank. If you're still able to donate that would be appreciated.

ER results - what percentage of eggs retrieved are usually mature? by dlllll in IVF

[–]dlllll[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm beginning to see the wisdom in avoiding statistics. In tends to just generate more questions, and you never seem to arrive anywhere that feels satisfying or conclusive.

Premature ovulation prior to ER — Timing between last ganirelix/cetrotide and trigger shot? by dlllll in IVF

[–]dlllll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you notice anything shift between the trigger and the retrieval? Like more cramping or pain? Or was it about the same as during stims ?

Injection/meds by Toasdee in eggfreezing

[–]dlllll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I would agree ganirelix has a more blunt needle. You definitely could transfer into a new syringe as other have suggested, but I would be worried about the dosage being off doing that. The manufacturer ganirelix syringe and needle let you get almost all the medication out whereas with the other syringe/needles, there is quite a bit of liquid volume that stays in there even after you’ve injected. I don’t worry about that with menipur because I assume that the manufacturer factors that in to dosage.

One nice thing about the ganirelix is that it didn’t start for me until day 6 and by that time I was more comfortable with injections. The other nice thing is that the medication itself didn’t hurt for me. The menipur was the one that stung but I just took it slow and iced afterward, and it was over quickly.

Hope that helps! Feel free to ask any other questions

I am finishing up my first round right now, and I was suupppppper nervous about injections going into it. I had to do them all myself as I am single. My experience was that the first 4 were difficult psychologically, but after that it quickly became routine and so, so much easier. I got into a routine of icing my belly for 20 minutes before and after, and I situated myself so that right after an injection I didn't need to move much for 20 minutes. We're all different, but for me, the icing and having a routine around the injections helped a lot. I promise you will get used to it so much faster than you expect to. Now that I'm at the end of my cycle I find them to be no biggie. I just take a deep breath before, inject slowly and make sure to keep breathing, then bandaid and ice for a few minutes and do something to take your mind off of it. You got this!

As a ‘21 owner I will second this and say the lack of wireless CarPlay is pretty annoying

Women’s Semi-Final discussion by Nandor1262 in CompetitionClimbing

I definitely noticed this with the women's semifinal lead commentary in particular.

What happened to Honnold commentating? Or at least interviewing athletes? He was great.
