No bloat on stims, starting to worry

[EmGLA]

Hello

I am currently day 6 of stims of my third attempt at my first fresh IVF cycle (previous two cycles cancelled prior to egg collection due to lack of response). This cycle I was switched from menopur to Gonal F and they put me on 300 units a day. However I’m starting to panic as I don’t feel any different no bloat at all and I’m getting anxiety that this cycle is going to get cancelled like the previous two. So I was wondering when you’ve had successful egg collection how bloated how did you feel a week in??

I’m really panicking this cycle is going to go exactly the same as every other and my follicles are once again not responding to the medication 😣.

If Im honest I really didnt feel that different! I didnt get heaps of eggs though, between 7-9. Got my fingers crossed for you! When is your first scan?xx

Thanks for getting back to me.

It’s Sunday, I had my bloods taken yesterday and they never rang me, which is a good sign, as they only ring if your oestrogen levels are too low or high. But I’m still super anxious.

Understandable that you are anxious when you have 2 cancellations under your belt! Really hope the gonal F makes all the difference!xx

I didn’t feel bloated until the day before my retrieval... I woke up the day before feeling like I had been pumped up over night. Prior to that though I felt ‘normal’ and was also worried and I got 18 eggs collected... you just never know...

I wish all the luck xx

Thanks so much for sharing your story! The anxiety is real today! Hopefully I’ll have a similar haul of eggs!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I never felt bloated as early as 6 days in, not usually until right near the end. Also, I respond way more to Gonal F than Menopur (dramatically so) so hopefully a change of medication is going to be the thing you needed. Good luck xxx
