So Iโ€™m on my cycle before I start the new meds and Iโ€™ve been put on melatonin which sent me to sleep at 7:30pm last night ๐Ÿคฃ I donโ€™t actually have problems with sleeping but the consultant said it improves egg quality.

This is going to be a different round for me. It will still be short protocol but Iโ€™ll be on steroids and also interloped.

Iโ€™ve had a 6month break and really got into yoga and swimming since jan. Iโ€™ve cut alcohol completely. Caffeine down to one cup of morning coffee and refined sugar right down (Iโ€™d say this has been my hardest) I had a few chocolates on valentines and had the odd thing over the weeks but itโ€™s a big improvement on what I was eating treat wise. Iโ€™ve also cut unrefined carbs out and only have brown rice or bread and eating a lot more fruit than I ever had.

Anyway thought Iโ€™d share my update with where I am. Anyone else starting in the next few weeks?

Its not till you really are restricted that you realise how much of your life is planned around food eh. So hard. It took me a while to get into it but now Iโ€™m in the right headspace itโ€™s easier.

Wishing you lots of luck in the long protocol! Will keep my eye out for your updates and we can keep each other going โ˜บ๏ธXx

Yes definitely, thank you! X

Good luck for this round - I am about to start round 4 (probably today).

Can I ask what dose of Melatonin you are on? I had heard it may help with egg quality but my clinic have never mentioned it. I take it anyway sometimes when I can't sleep but probably take too high a dose (5mg). Thanks so much x

Hi daisy! Iโ€™ll check as soon as I get in. I canโ€™t say I looked. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ My consultant said to start it the cycle before the injection cycle if that makes sense.

Your starting today? Exciting. Wishing you lots of luck. I wonโ€™t start injections for bout another 3 weeks. Got clinic appointment Thursday to finalise what meds Iโ€™ll be on and order them.

Sending you lots of luck xx
