Daft question

Hello, so I have a really daft question which is a bit on the TMI side, but i went to the loo and when I wiped, there was some discharge, is this normal when going through ICSI treatment? I started stimming last week but I don't know if any of this is normal - I realise I should probably speak to the nurse at my clinic, I just know they are closed now!

thanks!

Yes, totally normal. I believe it's due to the hormones you're injecting yourself with. I panicked when it happened and thought maybe I was ovulating and would have no eggs at Ec, but all was well. Happened both fresh cycles for me. Good luck

It's a very good sign that your lining is thickening up and the follicles are maturing. The growing follicles produce oestrogen which is what makes the lining grow and which causes product of cervical mucus. So it's a very good sign!

Not too, bad. Am having an endo scratch on Tuesday in preparation for a FET. Start down regging on Wednesday, looking forward to starting again- at least we'll be taking positive steps to solve the issue. Away this weekend with my best friend and her husband and she's just confirmed she is newly pregnant (was very obvious anyway!), which is lovely, but hard. I am so so pleased for her, but also wish it was us with good news for once.

Good luck for the FET. I know what you mean about doing something positive, it's much better than waiting around.

I sympathise with the best friend situation. That was me last year. I felt exactly the same as you, happy for her but sad for us. The only saving grace for me was that she lives overseas and so I didn't see her that often. I hope you're ok
