day 2 of stimulation

[Tbradam]

hello! Glad I have found this page -

on day 2 of my stimulation journey (300 menopur daily) and so far I’ve got “twinges” in my abdomen where my ovaries would sit, a sore lower back and slightly more fragile emotions wise - oh and my boobs HURT. All very positive signs though that the meds are doing what they should be doing!!

Super interested to hear other’s experiences and any tips on how to navigate the next couple of weeks!

all sounds very normal and a good sign!in my experience the next few weeks will likely go really fast until egg collection and then go reeeeally slow until you find out how your eggs and then embryos are doing and if transfer has worked! The actual physical side of things is easy peasy compared to the ups and downs of the emotional roller coaster for me so take care of yourself (time for being selfish!) and lean on others where you can. Best of luck to you!! Xx 🤗

Hi, I'm glad to have come across this post, I'm on day 4 of my cycle but only had 2 lots of stims so far as take on an evening and did think it was a little strange that had bit of back ache and my hip area feels sore... Kinda like stitch but lower down and thought I'd been imagining it or just aches from my period. I'm on bemfola 225.

Can't help with the rest of it as this is my first time doing IVF. The thing I seem to have realised is holding out to OTD is probably the best all round. I'm on a forum for July IVf and so many uncertainties when trying to read the early tests or obsessing on progress or lack of when multiple testing so for me I think I will need to stay strong and hold out. Good luck for you cycle 🤞🏻
