Getting ready for the rollercoaster ride to begin!

Well tomorrow I go for my baseline scan & bloods before we start our first ever cycle. I'll be on the Antagonist protocol using ICSI. I feel excited and nervous all at the same time. Trying to think positive but so anxious something will go wrong and it will be cancelled.

Is it normal to feel this way? X

Yes, completely. Try to relax and go with the flow. Plan lots of fun and distracting things for yourself 💖💖

Hi best of luck on your cycle hope it all goes well. The best advice I was given was prepare for the worst but hope for the best. I have found just going with the flow as much as possible has been good for me x

Good luck! Yes- You will have so many emotions over the coming weeks. The best thing I found is to have at least one person (other than your other half) that you can talk to whenever you need it. That helped me process each stage and was such a massive support.

Obviously all the ladies here are amazing too! x x
