I'm new here, hubby and I just started our IVF treatment. I'm on day 9 of Buseralin shots. Had some bloating, little discomfort & heaviness after its done. Peeing lots, wired vs tired. Hubby says he's not noticed a major change in me. Told him lets play it day by day as one day I might flip the switch lol. Joking aside it's bearable and I feel ok. I suffer with endo & daily gastric problems and that's been a painful and tough one at times. Hopefully it stays like this as I can tolerate it.
Quick question about prenatal supplements: I need to change from Pregnacare liquid to another. As it's not agreeing with me. (I can't swallow pills but ok with liquid or capsules dispersed in liquid). I eat a nutrient dense and healthy diet.
Looking for a folate/whole food/possible dha has all key nutrients to take 1/2 a day. That's kind on the system.
Are certain supplements that aren't standard like cod liver oil, 5 HTP progesterone cream, vitex, etc wise to take for conception? I see lots of you taking all in ones while others take individual supplements.
Any advice will be much appreciated as I'm done looking online. Better to hear it from people are taking them xx
I was advised to steer clear of the multivitamins and just to take folic acid and vitamin D. It worked for us. Wishing you lots of luck with your cycle! Xx
From what I remember, they just said that pre-pregnancy multivitamins can disagree with you (as you've found out!) and that if I was eating a healthy, balanced diet, folic acid and vitamin D is all I would need. You also have to be really careful with multivitamins that aren't specific to pre-pregnancy. For example, too much vitamin A is bad. Xx
I'm the same as you new to this, first round of ivf - I'm on day 5 of buserelin shots. I also have bloating and wind (tmi) 🙈 Along with feeling wired but soooo tired. Otherwise feeling ok and apparently no major changes in me either. I'm just hoping that the bloating and wired vs tired is normal?!
Also taking pregnacare along with vit c and echinacea and acidophilus- think I may stop them and just take preganacare and vit c from now on
Good to meet you. The bloating & wind too, I feel your discomfort lol!My nurse told me that it could create bloating and other symptoms.
To be expected I suppose when your body has to have something that is not normally there. I'm rolling with it, take each day by day. Rather than look at whole process at once. That mindset and basically trying to keep everything else in life functioning as normal has really helped. Drink lots, eat well and go with whatever emotion it throws at you.
All being well I've got EC is 13th Feb with ET on 18th. Now that I'm anxious about. Not going to think about it until the day. All will be fine I'm sure.
Will update then. Good luck on your exciting journey. We can do this xx
Glad I'm not the only one, it's pretty uncomfortable but like you it's to be expected and I too am just rolling with it. Each day is a new day and just keep staying positive!
Yes I made the mistake of not drinking hardly any water yesterday- today I'm going to try an drink plenty!!!
Oh that's so exciting, I'm waiting for AF to arrive to then book for my first scan!
Yes all will be fine - so excited for you!!
