How long did it take you to recover from IVF treatment and for your hormones to go back to normal? What should I expect?

Can I take it you are asking about a cycle where you didn't get pregnant? If so I'm sorry it didn't work for you this time. Generally it depends on the cycle I had OHSS and it took over a month for the effects on my ovaries not to be apparent, but in terms of the hormonal emotional feeling thugs settled down quite quickly , it can take 2-3 months for any cycles to regulate etc

If you get pregnant that's a whole different story and you'll be waiting around 9 months :)

Thanks for the reply only just saw it. That's helpful. I haven't had a failed one yet I'm just worried about what to expect. When I ask the docs they say you won't get any side effects. I found that hard to believe. That's while taking the injections and after. So I'm not too sure I trust them.
