October collection/transfers

[EggsistentialCrisis]

Was looking for one of the IVF monthly threads but didn't see any, so thought I'd start one!

I'm on day 7 of stimming so I guess egg collection will be coming up soonish? It's my first cycle, so still new to this.

I'm on Bemfola 150 UI every day, and have recently added in Fyremadel. It's going really well overall! I use numbing cream and my husband does the injections for me. I'm starting to get some discomfort though, it's like I can feel my ovaries when I walk and I'm definitely bloated. Trying to drink lots of water and eat protein.

I have another scan and blood test tomorrow, so fingers crossed things are advancing well! I'm in France, but everything seems fairly similar to the UK so far to be honest.

Anyone else also in the throes of injections?

@EggsistentialCrisis congrats on being pupo. I wish you all the luck and for that bfp. The progesterone is great isnt it, the longer you use it the worse it makes you feel and then hopefully the pregnancy symptoms add to it all lol but of course for the good.

Pupo? Thank you! Yes, it's actually quite ridiculous. I'm getting more and more tired and more and more emotional as time goes on. I'm making velvet ribbon chains for Christmas and managed to cut all of them to different sizes last night (god knows how) and almost cried. But as you say, all for the good!!

How are you getting on? Have you started on your meds yet? And what do you mean by "old" meds?

@EggsistentialCrisis pupo= pregnant until proven otherwise.
Oh the emotional rollercoaster is crazy. Just be gentle with yourself at this stage. I use to be on puregon, havnt made any embryos but responded alright and usually collect 2 to 5 eggs. so switched to menopur hoping to get a little more eggs or better quality but did not respond at all so doing my last round back on the meds I had some response too.
