I am on day 7 of burselin injections, when I go for my first scan at 2 weeks do you know what they are looking for is it to do with the lining I’m not sure?

I've just had my scan (was doing nasal spray not injections but I understand it is the same drug) they looked at my ovaries and checked lining was clear from withdrawal bleed.

I had no side effects from the drugs and nurse said that could be because drugs haven't worked or I will have an easy menopause, which panicked me but thankfully all was as it should be

I'm now doing gonal f injections and back next week for another scan, again I don't see any side effects yet so I hope my body is doing what it should be

Yeah it’s to make sure the lining of your womb is thin and that your ovaries are ‘shut down’ as Burselin stops eggs being released. Then you can normally start stimming x

Thankyou that helps me understand the process now, for me I like to know what’s going to happen and what they are looking for it helps with the nerves.

I’m exactly the same, I think the unknown is what’s the worst. Always feel free to ask away on here, someone’s bound to know the answer

Hi Rebecca! I'm on day 10 of the same injections. I was wondering the same thing! My AF has been delayed though so I'm thinking I'll have to postpone my scan. Boo. Good luck with yours. 🍀

Are you late with AF does this make a difference, can the scan just be put forward a few days?

I think they said that the meds can cause a slight delay in AF appearing and they told me I'd need to be a couple of days into my new cycle before the scan. I suppose the lining has to be thin again as E_05 said before they can start stim. I'm hoping it will just be moved on a couple of days if so.
