I am very much afraid that the scan and blood test tomorrow will show I have had a poor response to the stims and that this cycle will be cancelled.
I know that I am a total IVF novice, but shouldn't I be able to feel something happening by now? I started stims on Saturday and have been on the increased dose of Men0pur since Tuesday and I feel no different. No bloating, no mood changes, no discomfort. The only effects (apart from itching and redness at the injection site immediately after the Cetr0tide) have been stomach upset - but that is because I started d0xycycline last night and antibiotics and I have issues. Oh and I have a (mild) cold.
I suppose I'm extra edgy because I didn't ovulate at all on my last round of Cl0mid and the final IUI cycle was abandoned.
And I suppose that infertility and loss makes second-guessers of us all.
Still, I am grateful that my scan appointment is in the morning and that by this time tomorrow I will have some kind of idea of what happens next.
Hoping that your body exceeds your expectations and that it turns out you're an excellent responder to the stims! Maybe you just have a high tolerance for pain and related issues? FX for good news tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Hoping and praying for eggs! Yes, IF kills all the hope we have and it SUCKS!!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and hope your appointment goes very well tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteHope all is well and yes, IF sucks ass.
ReplyDeleteIt is nearly impossible to face any of this with optimism, but you may be just fine! my only side effects were occasional feelings of fullness. Hop your scan went great,
good luck!
