Anyone else starting stims this week?

My cycle just started and I'm feeling pretty nervous but excited. This is the first time we've tried IVF so not sure what to expect (although I've googled A LOT so do have some expectations haha). Anyone else on similar timings?

I started my stims on Friday just gone- second round of IVF. I’m on meriofert 450iu. Have you started your stims yet and what medication have you got? I don’t have any side effects from the meriofert. Good luck with your first go ❤️

Ahh okay, hope the lack of side effects continues for you! I'm starting tomorrow evening as that'll be day 2 of the cycle (never been so eager for my period to come lol). I'm on 150iu Gonal-F and 75iu meriofert and then start fyremedal on day 6. Do you just have the one injection with meriofert? Wishing you all the luck as well ❤️

Hi. My 1st ivf also. Started my stims on Saturday. All seems OK so far. No side effects yet. On meriofert 300iu until Thursday then 150iu meriofert and 150iu gonal f. Finger crossed 🤞

Oh that's great! Lots of people seem to say side effects aren't that bad so hoping it'll be okay but will take each day as it comes I guess. That's interesting that our doses are so different. I assumed they were kind of standard but I guess it makes sense and they must base it on all the tests they've done. I'm on 150iu Gonal-F and 75iu meriofert and then start fyremedal on day 6. Good luck ❤️
