Good or bad?

[louisear]

been on stimms not for 4 days. Got 2 follicles on right and nurse couldn't see any on left so they've upped my dose of gonal F to 375. Unsure if this is good or bad at this stage so going to up the milk and protein generally and keep everything crossed. Hope everyone ok and surviving xx

Hi Louisear, try not to worry Hun it's still early days x avocado is meant to be good, and eggs, basically egg shaped food! Oh and lots of water xxxx

I wonder if cake could count as your egg intake?! Xxx

Try and pick up some protein shakes as well if you can, and agree with Aleelilook get loads of water down you! You will be surprised how much things can change in a few days hun so stay positive! When are they scanning you again? Xxx

just been to get protein shake. They're really nice. How many would you recommend per day? I've had baked beans too which contain a lot of protein. My poor OH!

[Sprinkles86 in reply to louisear]

It depends on what else you are eating but I'd say 2 per day should be a good boost (normally 20-25g of protein per scoop so this will give you 40-50g extra protein a day). Then try to eat a good protein source with each meal (eggs, chicken, turkey etc). Increasing protein will sadly be bad for your OH 😂 Try some peppermint tea to calm things down, this will help with any bloating you might get too from the stims! Also try using a hot water bottle for a short while each evening xxxx

thanks Sprinkles. I'll try this. Going for a further scan Fri so fingers crossed xx hope you're doing well xx

Hi Louise, I would get different results for each scan. It was only towards the end of the jabs that the numbers would tend to increase. Like the others have said, lots of protein and water could help - good luck! x x x

thanks MommaBear. I'm not panicking too much at the moment. Hope you're doing ok and bearing up xx
