Struggling even before the 2WW!

Hi, not sure if I’m after a grumble or advice 🤷‍♀️ I’m cycle 4 and day 9 of stims on ovaleap. I don’t remember feeling so nauseous during my other cycles. I’m hungry but have no appetite. Can’t stand the site of food. Usual IVF exhaustion and headaches. Don’t know how ladies manage with 20+ follicles. I had 7 on last scan and sore from those few. It’s just the nausea that’s really getting me down. Anyone else felt this bad? I wonder if I deleted it from my memory previously 🤣 I’m trying to not keep grumbling to my DH! 😳 Arghh...how do we do this! Lots of love 💕

Hi gemmy999 stimms are exhausting, feel free to grumble all you need. How many more days do you have before egg collection?

Ahh thanks. I have a scan tomo and then hopefully EC on Monday 🤞🏻 x

Hey gemmy999 grumble all you want as we all feel your pain. I will be starting my 4th cycle in June after a well deserved holiday and will be doing stimms again as I have no frozen embryos left. I don't remember feeling nauseous but I do remember getting horrendous headaches for the first 3 or 4 days. Have you tried having some dry crackers or a bit of toast just to help settle your stomach, I've heard this can help. Good luck for EC xx

Thank you. I did suffer with migraines on down reg and now a different kinda headache on stims. I know every cycle is different as well as the side effects. I have just eaten what I can face rather than it being healthy or what I’d planned. Thank you and good luck for June xx
