Stim injections - day 7... feel like nothing is happening!

Hi ladies,

I was just hoping for a bit of advice or reassurance 😀 I started on Meriofert last weds and so far I’ve not had any side effects. I can’t really feel anything working and wondered if that was normal!? I have my scan on Saturday and if all is well the egg retrieval on Monday but I’m petrified they’ll scan and say I’ve not responded ☹️ Anyone else had similar?

Many thanks

Xx

Ah that’s good that they are developing as they should! I’m on 3 of the little bottles - 225ml I think. I’ve had the odd twinge but I was expecting more ha. Maybe they’re just growing nicely 😊 hope everything goes well for you xxx

I am stimming at the moment too and also don’t feel like much is happening. Thought I’d be a lot more bloated. But it’s def working, had a scan yesterday and follicles growing. Good luck with your scan x

I felt nothing through all my stims right the way through, other than some bloating at the end. Normal to worry that nothing is happening 😊

Ah thank you! I’ll try and relax now 😊 I was just expecting apple sized ovaries or something I think haha xx

I think Meriofert is good...can hardly tell until the end with bloating.

I didn't have any symptoms until the last couple of days, and my ovaries were so big they were touching! You'll probably be pleasantly surprised at your scan. And if you need a few more days of stims they can move your collection back a few days.

Keep positive! X

Thank you! Gosh our bodies are amazing aren’t they really. I’m reassured to know that other people haven’t felt much but still have had positive results regarding the stim phase. I have another 3 nights to go!! Hoping for egg collection next Monday... which is another thing I’m super nervous about but I’ll cross that bridge Monday!! 🙈 xx
