Waiting for day 1

[Noodles2019]

I am waiting for day 1 so I can phone the clinic to start out first ivf cycle. I’m feeling ready for it and am planning to take each day as it comes.

Does anyone have any tips for a first cycle?

Thanks

Good luck noodles! I had my first cycle in Feb, and it wasn’t as bad as I had anticipated and built up in my head! I listened to the IVF mindfulness app each night and it was great for calming the mind and taking each day as it comes. Other than that just stay positive, don’t think too far ahead and use this forum to keep in touch with people as everyone is lovely and rooting for each other 😊 xx

Goodluck with your treatment Noodles x try to not think of it too much (i know right) i was so exited for it that my period decided not to come for a month. First shots are a bit scary but u will find a routine. Most importantly be kind to yourselves because its nice to hve a buddy in this xx

Specific advice though.....? I find putting ice on before injections helps me mentally (I don't know how big a difference it makes physically), patting yourself on the back for every little thing you do during the cycle as this is a difficult and important journey to go through (!) and going with the flow on any of the emotions that come up - know that it's not you being crazy. xxxx
