Is it normal not to feel anything yet?

[User20]

Hi girls,

I've started my stimulations on Monday (short protocol) and so far don't feel anything yet... Is that normal?? Might be a very silly question as I know it's only been 3 days. It's my second round of IVF, last time my ovaries did not respond to stims at all and I had my cycle cancelled. Naturally I am worried this might be the case again and looking for any twinges or tweaks I might feel.... Now this time I'm on a different mix of stims. When did you guys start feeling different? Friends who have done IVF before said they could feel their ovaries during stimulation..... Am I just impatient??? I have a scan tomorrow and in my head I know I should just wait and see but it's driving me insane. It's all I can think about..... 😳

Hi user20,

Completely understand why you’re worrying based on your previous experience. I’ve done four stimulation rounds and it normally takes around a week for me to start feeling the effects so try not to stress just yet. Sending you lots of luck for your scan tomorrow xx

Hiya lovely, I'm on day million on stims 🤣 I have low amh and on highest dose on meriofert. . I still feel nothing !!but have about 5/6 follicles so something is happening! I was on short protocol but extended a few days as I have slow growers ! Xx

Hi, apart from a bloated kind of feeling I generally never felt much and I’ve been through it so many times lost count. Wishing you the very best of luck 🤞🏼
