First stimming injection ✅ advice?

[Rachwithers]

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

[Rachwithers in reply to E_05]

Thank you! How often did you have the pomegranate smoothies? Xx

[E_05 in reply to Rachwithers]

No probs, I had them every day x

[Rachwithers in reply to E_05]

Everyday until egg collection? Xx

[E_05 in reply to Rachwithers]

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

[Rachwithers in reply to lucylob]

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

[lucylob in reply to Rachwithers]

I have on Monday and then one Wednesday to decide if I can have egg collection on the Friday, if not it would be the Monday xxx

[Rachwithers in reply to lucylob]

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

[lucylob in reply to Rachwithers]

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
