starting stims day 1?

I’m a bit worried as was told today on first day of bleeding to start stims. But then thinking I’ve only ever been told or heard of stims starting day 2-3. Anyone else started earlier before? I am on a natural cycle start after luteal phase oestrogen priming rather than timed with anything this time. I’m just worried a nurse got it wrong somewhere and I’ve given first injection now.

I think it depends if your period is full flow and what is classed as day one.

Mine was always day 2 of my period because day 1 was only spotting.

Try not to worry, they know best.

Thank you! You’re right I have to trust the process now.

It’s silly that I get stressed then get stressed that I’m stressing especially when work bad too and long days. Anyway onwards and upwards now focus on looking after myself.

Thanks xx

I know it's hard not to overthink every step. I've had a few things happen when has made me question the clinic so now I overthink even more (the DHEA chat we've been having already lol).

Good luck this round xx

Hey there, I injected Gonal F on day 1 of my cycle in my last NHS round! That was the instruction from the clinic, so think are slight nuances depending on which clinic you’re with. Wishing you the best of luck with your cycle! xx
