Yes, and the Buscelerin too. In fact the whole way through IVF I felt like I had been hit by a bus! Drink lots and try to do a little bit of exercise, as it might make you feel better (a little walk in the fresh air maybe).

Good luck, hope it bets easier xxx

I'm okay thank you for asking. Currently 5.5 weeks pregnant and keeping fingers and toes crossed for viability scan next week :-) Is this your first round or have you been through it before? It's bleddy hard work! xx

I really hoping you would say this. Congratulations ❤️ My fingers and toes are crossed for u too. Yes our first round, have miscarried twice though over the space of 7 years!

I always knew it would be hard but didn’t expect it to be like this.. I was on clomid before this and has so many side effects that I was expecting to feel the same with this but it’s so different. Xx

Thank you :-) Sorry to hear about your miscarriages. How upsetting.

I was permanently shattered on all the IVF drugs and had a constant raging thirst too! The progesterone support is pretty nasty stuff too. But we're made of strong stuff ay, and hopefully it will all be worth while :-) When's your first scan? xx

We sure are. My friends say they don’t know why I bother but it’s easy for them to say when they conceive naturally easily 🙄 yes I really hope so. It’s on wed morning , can’t come quick enough xx

I feel like I’m the same at the moment. I seem to be on a lower dose compared to most people though xx

I was on a low dose as well just 75iu but had 75 of ovaleap as well and cetrotide/fyremadel on top of that. I was absolutely exhausted all the time. Xx

I felt exactly like that! Not to mention the hot flushes, bloating, mood swings, crying all the time! When you finish meds you will realise how much the hormones affect you, made me feel like I wasn’t even in my own body some days. Hope you feel better soon, make sure you get plenty of rest and listen to your body x

Hi, I was on menopur for my first cycle and I felt shattered all the time. I got afternoon naps when I could and even went to bed earlier. Take rest when you can xx

Yes! I came here looking to see if other women were having the same experience. I have to budget times to rest and my mind is foggy.
