So turns out, it was my period! It was just super light, why can’t they all be like that?! 😂

Scan went really well- everything’s looking as it should and my lining is nice and thin so I did my first bemfola this afternoon!

Any general advice for when you’re stimulating? Diet, wives tales, etc?

Thanks all xx

I’d say keep your fluids up and remember not to do to strenuous exercise. As for diet I just kept mine balanced and also drank pomegranate smoothies to help with my lining. Lots of luck x

I carried on even after EC just because I read pomegranate was good for maintaining the lining it was only when I got my BFN I stopped x

I had my baseline scan yesterday and started my menapur - first time injecting myself this morning! All ok I just wasn’t sure which line I had to go by as there were two 🙈 have to check with the clinic this morning but apart from that it wasn’t too bad! Hope all goes ok for you xx

Yay well done you! So when’s your scan? Next Friday? I also have one Tuesday, as they’re worried about my age and ohss xxx

Oh wow! So in a week all your injecting will be over! I have to inject bemfola for 10 days... xx

I believe so as long as I’ve responded well to it. I have to inject menapur for a week then cetrotide from Wednesday and then Ovitrelle the night before egg collection on the Friday - I think that’s right! It was so much to take in yesterday ! But I’ve got appointments Monday and weds so i will double check! Xx

Hi!

Best of Luck with your stims!

I had 500ml of whole fat organic milk with 20mg whey protein everyday! Added blueberries and chia seeds.

Was quite a mix and very filling.

Not sure whether it did anything but extra protein us meant to be good during stims.

Hi to all, I’ll be starting bemfola next Friday as long as my scan goes ok, can I ask what dosage your taking? I’m down regulating now with bursulin (currently waiting for period 🤨) and then bemfola 375u next Friday. Hope all goes well for you all x
