Hey guys hope. Your all doing well and keeping safe in this scary times. Well after my ivf icsi in January I had 2 good embryos 1 was transfered fresh and 1 was frozen. Sadly fresh didn't stay around 😭 I. Was then set ready to have natural frozen cycle in March. I was 3 days away from. Having transfer and then covid locked us down. So like many of us on here I was devasted lockdown eating didn't help wallowing in self pity mostly. When I had a phone call in June to say frozen transfers can go ahead again well I was over the moon and couldn't wait to start until I was told bmi has to be back at criteria weight as I NHS funded. OK weighed in bmi was 36 damn. Needs to be 29.9 or under. So I had to lose 3stone and quick. Finally got it off and I am 4 days into my medicated frozen transfer cycle. Taking progynova have to take 3 a day or a week then up it to 4.they said i have to do it medicated so they can limit the amount of visits to clinic. Is it just me or do these make u feel really quite sick and make you not hungry? Headaches on and off? Back to clinic on 26th Nov to check womb lining and hopefully find out when we can have frostie transferred xx

Hello - I'm also on a medicated FET (transfer tomorrow!! 😯). I'm taking Proogynova (started on 6mg, increased to 8mg) and progesterone (X3 tablets a day). At first I felt no side effects at all, but since Wednesday I have been feeling quite off (diarrhoea, tiredness, nausea, headache). Really not sure if this is due to picking up a bug and having gastro sickness or from the meds. I had X2 progesterone tablets on my fresh cycle and was fine. Think the headache and nausea could have been from dehydration from not drinking enough after the sickness. Feeling better today, fingers crossed. However been off food for a while. Normally enjoy eating healthy foods, but have had reduced appetite, but I'm just craving junk I don't normally like - sausages and crisp sandwiches kind of thing! 🤣. Hope you're feeling better soon too and all goes well. Tip from me is to make sure you drink enough xx

Plus I still on my period at present well I'm on day 5 so nearly finished and that sometimes makes me sickly so probably just that I just over paranoid bout things lol. I just so glad I finally started again xx good luck with it all and hope you feel better soon xx
