Day 5 of Injections

[Hopingforamiracle19]

Hi All!

I’m on day 5 of my meriofert injections and feeling so so so tired and have also broken out in so many spots! Has anyone else experienced this?

Also, I’ve been trying to relax and basically meeting friends for lunch and doing stuff that isn’t going to stress me out etc but also been lounging around and finishing off the Christmas chocolate however read a lot of stuff on here of women who have cut out all carbs, sugar and basically all the naughty stuff so I’m now panicking that that’s what I should be doing! Anyone got any words of wisdom?!

Thanks in advance

Xx

Hi there

Sorry to hear you're feeling so tired!

I dont know from personal experience but I have a friend who has been through IVF twice and has been fortunate enough for it to be successful twice. She advised me not to overthink what you eat and to just eat what you would normally so you don't stress yourself out.

Hope that helps a bit 😊 xx

Hi.

I did IVF in November I was also on meriofert and fostimon and I felt really tired. I was very surprised just how tired I was and how much the whole process physically took out of me! I ate a lot of protein (meat, fish, milk, eggs) etc which I think did help. But I still had naughty stuff as a treat (I have a crisp weakness)! Personally I don't think drastically changing your diet is a good idea while doing IVF, but just my opinion! I think you need sugar in any diet, just with moderation. But maybe up your protein, I made sure I had an egg every day for breakfast as I figured it might help my eggs grow 😆!

Good luck with your cycle x
