Bit nervous

First scan after starting injections on Saturday is tomorrow morning. I have discomfort and lots of twinges so hope that this means things are growing. Put on a slightly lower dose as have pcos and high risk of ohss. Just worried that nothing has happened. Why is the process so nerve wracking?

Hope all you awesome ladies are well xxx

Hi judy hope you’re well. Could have written this myself. Had baseline scan Tuesday evening then started gonal F injections Tuesday night - also at risk of OHSS due to high AMH. Going back Saturday too. Just trying to stay positive and take comfort in fact we are being well monitored before egg collection. Xx

Yes judy seems we are at similar stage. Hoping to start cetrotide Sunday all being well. Getting my hubby to do injections though, I’m not that brave to do them! Feels like we’ve waited for ages to get to the nitty gritty and now it is here I feel it is going quick and I feel so uncertain ahh! But trying to stay grounded and realistic and at least if we have some embryos to freeze then we can try again, it’s such a rollercoaster isn’t it xx best of luck xx

I am a little bit of a control freak so “prefer” to do them myself. Not as bad as i thought and my hubby has been very surprised. I think he thought i would dither about but just do it. He preps it all for me as i hate needles. It does go quick when you are in it but agree it has felt ages to get here! Sending you massive hugs and luck xxx

I think that is what i have to think- I cannot change it and they check up to make sure all is going to plan. They said they can always increase the meds. Fingers crossed. How are you feeling about Monday? Xx

Totally, they’ll fix meds indeed . I’m getting more nervous with every tablet and gel 🤣😂 just keeping reminding myself to breathe and doing the mindful ivf app when I panic . The only jobs I have right now are take meds and stay calm as rest is out of my hands, all good. Sure, it’s friday tomo so time is flying in . In a fancy hotel tonight with the husband so nice wee distraction 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Hi Judy. So exciting that you have started treatment. I was also high risk of OHSS and remember being so scared before it all started that I would get sick etc. I did a lot of worrying which looking back wasn’t needed (but of course couldn’t be helped at the time). At the very worst if you don’t respond as much as you need to they just up the dose and can catch you up to normal levels very quickly. It just means you stim for maybe 2 or 3 extra days. This way though they can be extra careful about avoiding OHSS etc without needing to cancel a cycle or anything. Fingers crossed for you xx
