IVF Here We Go

[Rainbowdreams82]

Had my baseline scan yesterday. Was so excited to be back in after doc and nurse virtual appointments last week. After so many months of waiting, between speaking to the clinic and starting has been quick.

Today I start on my Gonal-f. Then all going well with scans egg collection in a couple of weeks. Can’t believe our time is finally here.

Any tips and advice for the next couple of weeks would be great. What did some of you who have been through this take as supplements throughout and anything I should be prepared for?

Thanks in advance team. I feel we’ve all got this together x

Heyy ! Congrats lovely x

Just keep yourself busy and motivated. High protein diet, low carbs... I took multivitamins which contained everything I needed and plentyyyyy of water.

Good luck x

I gave acupuncture a go on my 3rd round of IVF and so far up until this stage everything has gone better than previous times (whether it is just luck or it actually works🤷🏽‍♀️) maybe it’s worth looking into ? X

My tips are to be prepared for anything. You may be invited for more or fewer blood tests and scans than you were expecting. And your collection and transfer dates could vary too. All based on how you’re responding to the drugs. If this is your first round, it might be tricky to get the doses perfect. One step at a time. And keep using the forum!

Take care and good luck! X 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
