Questions about stimulation? I'm on day 5!

Hey everyone I have a few questions about stimulation. When I went for my baseline scan the nurse said I had a 3.5cm endometrioma on my left ovary so she didn't think that ovary would do much, but if follicles need to be nearly 2cms and multiples can be taken from one ovary isn't it possible for my left ovary to stimulate also? Also I haven't slept great since starting the injections and have constant hot flushes its horrid and I'm so glad my work has a big freezer :-D. I also think I might be losing weight? And I have also felt nothing at all since starting stims and its got me worried nothing is actually happening. Anyone had the same experience?

Hey! I'm on day 6 and like you I go back Friday to see what is happening. I'm not affected by the flushes during the day but I am like a radiator during the night! Today I am noticing extra discharge like EWCM (sorry if tmi!) I'm on bemfola - what about you?

Hi. I have a 4cm endometrioma on my left ovary and very few follicles at baseline. I've been through 3 lots of stimulation to egg collection (before FET). My endometrioma meant that although I had follicles growing on the left, it was unsafe to collect eggs from that side, so we focused on my right ovary. Hopefully that won't be the case with you and you will respond on the left with a safe pathway for collection. Good luck. X

I don't think I had any follicles at baseline scan I don't think they even checked for them they only checked my lining was thin and my ovaries looked ok. Got my first action scan on Friday so fingers crossed. How did you find egg collection? Its under mild sedation at my hospital so I'm a little nervous because I'm not good with internal pain. xx
