Bugger...

Seein as March has been and gone and nothing happened... well I was kinda hopeful. But the beast has returned Cry

It's always kinda scary yes? Knowing the pain that will have to be endured over the coming weeks.

Oh well, my bf is picking up the 02 tomorrow morning, god bless 'im Kiss

I've started taking the verapamil - which I skipped the last two cycles cos I wasn't sure that it was really helping - made me tired and seemed as though the cycle was longer??

Anyway, I do have a question.... last cycle (Sept 08) my gp gave me some imigran nasal spray. I wonder is it okay to take that and verapamil??

If anyone is out there now who can answer, I'd really appreciate it cos it's gonna happen real soon Undecided

Thanks in advance,

Kate

Yes, it is fully safe to take the two at the same time. As long as you don't have any other conditions, that prevent you from taking Imigran, such as heart disease or vascular problems.

Many find the injections to work faster.

BUT, all that said, it is MUCH safer, and cheaper to use oxygen as your primary abort method, and only resort to the Imigran as a last resort.

Sorry the beast has found you again! I hope it is a short cycle for you!

CAUTION: Do NOT smoke when using or around oxygen. Oxygen can permeate your clothing or bedding. Wait, before lighting cigarette or flame.

Keep fire extinguisher available, and charged.
