When did you first start feeling stims? 💉

Question

Hey all! I just started stims on Saturday, so only 2 days ago, and I already have a tight feeling in my abdomen. When did you all start feeling it? Idk if it’s all in my head or if it’s just internal bruising from the injection sites (no visible bruising)? It just seems too early to be feeling uncomfortable! My AFC was 46 so I’m hoping it’s not just already too full in there 😬

Answer

Day 7ish !!!!!!! Had 30 retrieved!

Answer

Took 7 days for me to feel like crap 😂. The needles just go into the fat layer so you shouldn’t really be bruising subcutaneously.  If you do pio daily that can cause bruising. 
The bloat gets real after about a week and that’s how long it usually takes to really see a boom in follicle amount and size which can cause discomfort.

Answer

I only really felt bloated about 2-3 days before both my retrieval’s. I got 26 eggs in my first retrieval and 21 in my second. I was still out riding my horse the day before my last retrieval 😆 getting on and off and trotting was a bit uncomfortable!

Answer

I didn't feel much different than PMS until the last couple of days. I had 18 retrieved, 11 of which were mature.

Answer

I really started feeling it around day 8, with each day getting progressively worse until retrieval. Like super uncomfortable bloating, abdominal pain, cramping, fullness, etc. Its probably nothing but if you’re concerned you can bring it up to your case manager :)

Answer

I have 23 follicles after 4 days of stims and my nurse was like “Are you sure you’re not bloated or feel any cramping?” I had 1 cramp on Sunday. Hoping this high pain tolerance works for the dreaded PIO shot

Answer

I started Friday for the first time and I’m not feeling anything yet...I’m glad you asked because I started to worry it means I’m not responding.

Answer

Day 5, I started to feel bloated.

Answer

Day 7

Answer

I think I started feeling it Day 3-4 after starting - but I am very sensitive and always feel when I am ovulating with just 1 egg. I was SUPER uncomfortable by day 6 and downright miserable by egg retrieval. But 23 eggs later - totally worth it!
