Starting Stims this week and have questions
I’m starting my first round of ivf and have a few questions on what to expect. Some background- I’m 41, 5”4 109lb, egg retrieval score is 8, amh 1.35 and a very anxious person. I overthink everything probably an unhealthy amount. I have not told my family and I see them weekly (they will notice if my body changes an incredible amount) they’re very supportive in everything I do but I don’t want to get any hopes up.
What can I expect?…Will I be on a higher dose of meds bc my score is low and will that cause more intense side effects? Is this something I will be able to “hide” from my family? How long after egg retrieval did your mental and physical state return to pre stims? Is it harder to do back to back egg retrieval rounds? My insurance covers 3 rounds and I was hoping to them back to back before my chances become even more slim.
Thank you for any advice, tips, help.
