Stimming starts tonight!

The next step is finally here, my baseline scan went great and I have been given the go ahead to start my menopur tonight and I have my scans already booked in. Exciting!

Just wondered if anyone has any advice or tips that will benefit me at this stage?

Thank you 💞

I never had a stim so far, so don't really have suggestions for you - but would like to wish you all the luck. :D XoXO

Drink plenty of water and eat well. If you take supplements, continue using them and stay positive. That's my advice for you.

I wish you the best and good luck.

Hi we are in sync as I’ve started menopur tonight. This is my second ivf cycle. Listen to your body and stay hydrated is all I can say, you may find you sleep a lot! Good luck x

Cycle buddy, how nice! What strength have you started on?

This is my 1st round of ivf so it’s all the unknown for me at the minute, thank you for your advice!

Wish you all the success this time around xx

Rest, drink lots of water, eat well, take short walks, carry on taking suppliments, keep a routine with similar timings each day for stims, use a hot water bottle if you have any pain, do nice things in the 2 week stimming period, keep body and feet warm, have a few nuts a day, drink hot water, lay off the alcolhol for a while if you can & get plenty of sleep - good luck x

Hope the first injection went ok Chantelle. I’m just a little ahead of you as I started my menopur on Tuesday.

I’ve found I’m getting pretty tired, so try and rest as much as possible. As the others have said, keep as hydrated as you can, keep warm, try not to let the thought of injections rule your life for the next 2 weeks ☺️

Just eat healthy, I’ve started drinking pomegranate juice as it apparently is good for the uterus lining.

Wishing you much luck during your cycle

Xx
