So pleased you were able to start stims sooner @waitingforourmiracle!
it's been a full on week here, my husband's friend's wife was induced at 40 weeks for gestational diabetes and spent a week in hospital trying everything to get labour going before opting for a c section - i was one of the birthing partners so it did mean a lot of rushing from work to the hospital and not getting home until 2am a few nights when she was in the labour ward. But mum and baby are happy and healthy so that's all that matters!
In terms of IVF for me, i ended up having a 52 day cycle and from next week Wed i can start the provera again (😫- it always makes me so emotional and ragey). The clinic messed up a bit and didn't prescribe me enough to take for the full 10 days, so i had to do a fair bit of back and forth with them and go a few times to the hospital to pick everything up. My advice would be to absolutely check your drugs before you need them (amount, dosage etc), because it would have been far more stressful to realise at the point of needing to take it that it wasn't right.
@worldwidetravel2017 I've only done the one EC so others might have a lot more advice, but the thing that helped me was to think only in 3 day segments. The clinics are good about telling you what you need to do for the next 2-3 days. The sheer volume of drugs can be so overwhelming, but they've prescribed everything you could possibly need for both EC and embryo transfer. Also another thing is that their timelines can change based on your follicle progress. I stupidly tried to work normally during stims, but then had to completely change my work days when my EC was moved forward by a day. if you can, i would do the bare minimum at work/take the time off - IVF is all you can think of anyway, so i don't think i actually got anything done in that 10 day period in any case.
In terms of logging, my clinic gave a print out with written drugs/amounts and when to take them (Day 1, Day 2 etc) and all I did was tick those off once they were done and also note down which side of my stomach (Left/Right) I'd done the injections on, just so there would be a day's break in between and I didn't get too sore.
Prepping for EC, I would absolutely recommend introducing electrolytes as soon as you start stims (i just used the liquid IV sachets you get off amazon), increase fibre and protein in your diet and then you can do the sachets for post egg collection- these will all help with the constipation (especially if there's an OHSS risk). I had mild OHSS (estradiol levels of 21,000 right before EC and 20 eggs collected) and i really felt it - i took a full week off work and even after that, i wasn't 100%. That won't be the vast majority of people's experience, so many women on here have been absolutely fine as soon as they get into the recovery room, it just wasn't the case for me. I had a lot of pain and was sore for quite a while. But it was all considered quite normal; the clinic weren't worried and they said it can take a few weeks to feel completely fine again, so to just take it slow.
Good luck with it all!
