Diet advice whist Stimming?

Hey, I’m only on day 2 and have a healthy diet anyway but wondered if anyone had been given or found out what to add to your healthy diet whilst stimming?

I’m eating more seeds, lentils, apricots and nuts. Already eat tons of fruit, veg, salad and protein.

Any other advice?

Thank you 🙏🏻

I drank a lot of full fat organic milk 🐄 with whey protein powder in it.

Was like rocket fuel!

Hey Mrs H (weird saying that as I am also a Mrs H!) anyways.. I am on day 3 of stimming - Diane posted something recently which was really helpful - a whole list from carbs to protein. Will try and find the post and send you the link.

How are you finding it all? I feel like so bloated I might pop! Definitely feel a bit perkier than buserelin :)

Oh hello! I will take my third menopur tonight... I’m only on 2 Amps. I don’t fee bloated... yet! I have just had headaches, so been taking paracetamol now and again and trying to nap and drink lots of water. I hope I do get bloated soon as it’s a good sign it’s working! I have a scan Monday am to check progress, when is yours? Xxxxx

If bloating is a good sign, i’ll take it on the chin. One of my cats looked at me suspiciously this morning, she couldn’t find her little brother and could see her looking at my stomach and wondering if I ate him 🤣

I take 4 little vials (300) - i find the mixing of the injection really hard. Do you? The vials are little vacuums so takes me a few attempts to get the liquid out, stress inducing! Am hoping tonight’s little excercise is easier.

My scan is on Friday at 9 am. I think they check for follicles and eggs - not really sure to be honest...

Haha! 🐱

Yes I’ve delegated the mixing to my husband as he insisted on being involved which is kinda cute but I’ve been watching him struggle to draw the liquid up and so wanted to step in and take over... so far resisted. I think it’s a case of practice makes perfect..... I watched a couple of YouTube videos and realised he wasn’t holding the vials on an angle. Being at risk of over stimulation is maybe why I have an earlier scan than you, let’s keep in touch 🙏🏻🤞 xxxxx
