Stimms side effects

[Ebonynelly]

Having sore breast and watery/sticky discharge. Started on day 6. Currently on day 7 of stimms.

Hope this is normal?

[MofM]

Very similar side effects, plus sleepiness. I've been told is normal

[Ebonynelly in reply to MofM]

Thanks for your reply dear.

[Imperfect89]

My boobs are really sore, even after EC, a good uplifting bra seems to do the trick xxx

[Ebonynelly in reply to Imperfect89]

Thanks for the reply dear. Its not easy.

[Imperfect89 in reply to Ebonynelly]

Most definitely not, but we will all get there. I’ve been explaining to my other half about the pains etc that women have to go through for IVF opposed to having a “dry one” 🤦🏼‍♀️ the things we do. I hope you feel better soon xxx

[Ebonynelly in reply to Imperfect89]

Women are sure a strong specie. Praying you also get a relief soon.

Which stage are you in your ivf journey?

[Imperfect89 in reply to Ebonynelly]

Thank you!

I had Egg collection on Monday. I am due to go in Saturday for transfer. I have just started the pessaries xx

[Ebonynelly in reply to Imperfect89]

I am not very far from you. I will likely have my EC on Monday and a transfer on Saturday.

How many embryos were collected, fertilised and made it to day 5?

How many are you putting back?

[Imperfect89 in reply to Ebonynelly]

They collected 19 eggs, 16 were fertilised but there are 9 that are mature. I got a call today and 5 are grade 1 and 4 are grade 2.

Day 5 will be on Saturday so I am unsure but the embryologist said that usually only 50% make it to blastocyst.

I have opted to put 2 back but the embryologist is trying to put us off. We are happy for whatever the outcome may be with 2.

What about you?

[Ebonynelly in reply to Imperfect89]

That is a good report.

Fx for you that they all make it to day 5.

Yet to have my EC but we are planning to put back 2 since it's a fresh transfer.

We would really love to have twins.

[Imperfect89 in reply to Ebonynelly]

How is your stimulation going?

We would also love twins. It would seem the clinic don’t like the idea. They said premature birth was more likely and the cost for the hospital would be higher with 2. I don’t think after paying £6000+ that should be a factor 🤔 we will probably stick with 2 and hope for the best. Have they tried to put you off?

[Ebonynelly in reply to Imperfect89]

My stimms is going well just the injection and slight lower abdominal pains, sore boobs and the discharge. Sore boobs seems to be the most painful right now. And a little tiredness.

They didn't try to put us off since it is not pgs tested.

Hi ebonynelly I had 400mg of menopur abd 0.2 of buserelin. I have had nothing but sensitive boobs and nipples. This is my second cycle omg do have I noticed the affects of the medication this time round. My moods were awful. I was awful to live with. My stomach has bloomed and hasn’t seemed to go down. I have tried hpa lanolin for my nipples as I just can’t take the pain. This has really helped. I had egg Collection this Monday just gone. They managed to retrieve five eggs. I got a call on Tuesday morning to say all five made it through. The clinic said they won’t be disturbing the eggs till I have possible egg transfer on Saturday. Freyabella How did you find out what grade your eggs are? And I’ve been told I’m only allowed to transfer one egg if I of course make it to that stage xx

[Ebonynelly in reply to Kelz84]

I am still stimulating. In my day 8 of stims and will hopefully be stopping stims on friday for egg collection on Monday.

The sore boobs is just terrible. The hpa lanolin, is it a drug?

I am hoping to transfer 2 since it is a fresh transfer.

Praying that all your embryos make it to day 5.

[Kelz84 in reply to Ebonynelly]

The hpa lanolin is scream and is used whilst breast feeding. I really do hope they do xx

[Imperfect89 in reply to Kelz84]

The embryologist has kept in touch with me daily x

[Ebonynelly in reply to Imperfect89]

Hope you are preparing for your ET.

[Imperfect89 in reply to Ebonynelly]

Yes, more rest and been to get some fybogel lol x

[Ebonynelly in reply to Imperfect89]

OK. Fx for success.

Lol, what is fybogel?

[Imperfect89 in reply to Ebonynelly]

Have you had a scan today or is it in the morning?

It’s a powder type fibre. The nurses have said to try and maintain regular bowel movement or at least keep everything soft. The pessaries can cause constipation and there’s already enough going on down there. So YAY another vile thing to add to the collection haha x

[Ebonynelly in reply to Imperfect89]

OK.

My next and final scan is tomorrow. Hope everything will go well. Looking to trigger on Saturday.

[Imperfect89 in reply to Ebonynelly]

How have you been finding the injections?

[Ebonynelly in reply to Imperfect89]

Was okay until from 3 days back. Sore breast, watery/creamy discharge and slight lower abdominal aches. Generally fine.

[Imperfect89 in reply to Ebonynelly]

The needle for the trigger shot I found a bit thicker than the others.

Just had my phone call for transfer time Saturday. It’s all getting very real.

[Ebonynelly in reply to Imperfect89]

Wohooo.. This is really real. All the best dear. Everything crossed for a positive cycle.

Did they tell you how embryos are still moving on?

[Imperfect89 in reply to Ebonynelly]

Thank you!

Yeah they have said I have 8 at grade 2 and 1 at grade 1 so all is well.

[Ebonynelly in reply to Imperfect89]

Really good report. Are you freezing the rest?

[Imperfect89 in reply to Ebonynelly]

Yes I will be for sure.

[Ebonynelly in reply to Imperfect89]

Okay.

[Ebonynelly in reply to Ebonynelly]

Hi. How are you doing?

Well, I had my last scan today.

Counted up to 12 follicles. But could be more. Will know for sure during retrieval.

I will trigger tomorrow with HCG foe retrieval on Monday.

Is HCG taken in the stomach or on the buttocks?
