Cycle buddies egg collection short protocol?

[Tigr]

We are finally starting our first round of IVF after 3 failed IUIs last year spring. It will probably be a freeze-all because of my PCOS, so just egg collection and hopefully getting some blasties. Anyone else starting injections today? Would like a cycle buddy for supporting each other through this.

Oh, so your eggs are already growing! Hope it's going well and the side effects are not too bad yet. When are you starting with the antagonist? I head this burns a bit more and was originally told the injections need to go into the thigh - big no no. So relieved I am allowed to put them in the belly now too.

Yes they are, at the moment im on 150 mg of menopur, low dose as im doing a natural modified cycle. I have 5 follicles so they are just gently stimulating the eggs to get 2 or 3 maximum. Two are growing nicely as was scanned today and they can never see my left side because its painful to find with the probe so its anyones guess what happening over there lol. I have cetrotide waiting in my fridge which probably start on weds. It stings a bit but the secret is to let it warm up for a minute first then it doesnt sting. My thighs are solid so i always do tummy, i pinch it quite hard so i dont feel the needle too much. Its the blood tests i have problems with, hate them! Laat time the menopur made me tired, but i do have endo so the stimms arent my best friends! This time around im feeling pretty crappy, cant wait to start the cetrotide as it surpresses it all amd gives me energy 😁. Once you start it goes so quick, my last cycle was only 9 days!
