hi everyone, this is my first post.
First IVF cycle. I have PCOS and my bleeds are extremely unpredictable.
I started my current cycle with very light murky bleeding and because there was nothing else to go on and none of my bleeds are the same, we started the protocol given by our doctor. I’m on day 8 of injections, and yesterday I had my first scan.
36 follicles total, but the nurse said they are tiny. Nowhere near ready for retrieval. She said my lining is very thick.
I’ve been very bloated for days with huge fatigue and we are aware OHSS is a higher risk for me so we are watching out for it.
And since the appointment my light bleed has become very strong. And now it’s the middle of the night, woken up by the cramps and bleeding out… and although that can happen during my periods (sometimes I have to walk around with plastic covers to sit on during periods I bleed so strongly and the pain is so high no painkillers feel like help), I’m now panicking wondering if the scan wand didn’t trigger something.
Is that even possible?
Probably being irrational… because of stress. Is it ok to post this to let it out?
I have another scan Monday. I’m just hoping the follicles are still there but growing…And not bled out after the first scan.
In 9 years TTC, I’ve not gotten pregnant once because it seems my eggs never reach maturity.
I’m feeling so emotionally triggered right now.
