Hi ladies

We have our baseline scan 29th Jan, and all being well will start stims 1st Feb, this is our first round and I am so so nervous!!

It's been a long road for us, with tests all of last year, 2 sperm retrieval surgeries that weren't successful, and moving on to donor sperm, so we are just so excited to finally be getting started now!

If anyone has been through their IVF before and has any hints and tips they can share I'd be so grateful! 💕

Such an exciting step for you. Sounds like it has been a long road ♥️. Get ready for lots of needles and lots of bloating😂. You honestly will look pregnant through stims. I was also very tired. I took it easy during the two weeks of stims and afterward. I had OHSS so it took longer then expected to feel normal afterwards—after my cycle started all the bloat was gone. My experience with the retrieval was absolutely awful. They don’t put you under in Ontario Canada and my meds didn’t work—I felt EVERYTHING. Butttt, that is not the norm. Most women go to bed and wake up and it’s done. Good luck!

Your 100% right you do forget about it, and seems like a distant memory
