Hi ladies I'm just realising I've learnt a lot about myself since starting this IVF journey around 16 months ago..mainly that I'm unhinged!! πI'm on day 6 of stims and feeling ok, which you'd think would be good, except..this is my brain you're talking about π
I'm only bloody worrying because I feel well (yes you read that right!) because I'm not feeling achy or any 'activity' around my ovaries, so this must mean it's not working right!
I have a scan & bloods on Thursday so I'll know more then, until then I'll be a little worry wart..I never used to be like this! IVF makes me a complete loon (please say I'm not alone!!)
Xx

Definitely not alone and definitely not a loon - if you are then we all are π
I would take this as a good sign. Slow and steady wins the race; your body is hopefully responding as it should and not racing ahead! Try to relax hon, you'll know more Thursday which isn't long away. Xx
Thank you WeeMrsH! That's going to be my mantra now 'slow and steady wins the race' ππ
On my last cycle i felt bloated and could feel something was different in my body .
This time around with a new drug no bloating.just a bit of nausea on day 5 of stims .its really been a breeze stimulating this time around and i responded very well.triggering tonight.i really dont know how the meds work but it seems every cycle is different.i also have moments when i feel like a complete loon.haha but i blame it on the ivf processπ.good luck with your cycle
I didn't feel much and I got 15 eggs, 1 of which is inside me, and 5 more 4AA and 2 lower quality in the freezer. So, not feeling anything can go rather well, is what I'm saying! Totally here you on being a loon - I think few of us can honestly say we aren't when going through this process!
Aw that's great Hun, lovely to hear such a positive story (when feeling nothing!) and I really hope this brings success for you & your days of loondom are soon over! Xx
ππ you do make me laugh!
Your not alone! It all sounds normal to me.
I never felt anything during stimms on my last cycle, it was so strange compared to the others, I was convinced nothing was happening! Went for my first scan and was almost ready, got 11 eggs!!
There is no logic or pattern to these cycles, I have gave up trying to second guess but then where is the fun in that π
Thanks so much LDM1979, great to hear another positive stimming story π I don't think I could give up the second guessing even if I tried so the fun will continue!! π Roll on Thursday, I'll keep you all posted ππ» Xx
Did I just read a post from myself?!?? Welcome to loon club. No membership fee required. I was just saying to WeeMrsH the other day... I have no symptoms! What if my lining isn't getting thicker! Turns out my lining was fine. π
Ah no way emu! No it's not your post, there's just a scary amount of us out there π Beware normals! Never known anything like IVF for hear smashing! Xx
You put a smile on my face and I love your zest for embracing this challenging. Bring on Thursday, all the very best of luck I'll be thinking of you! xxx
It just drives you mad doesn't it the daily monologue that runs through our heads π«we are all with you so we must all be loons πtogether, Thursdays scan will be here before you know it wishing you all the best and sending you lots of baby dust xxx
Oh this has really made me chuckle after what has been a horrible few days! I think we are destined to worry about every little niggle (or lack thereof!) so don't worry you're completely normal (well, IVF-er normal anyway π) fingers crossed for some good numbers at your scan, still plenty of time for you to start feeling uncomfortable / bloated / sore xxxxxx
