we’re finally starting IVF. I honestly thought getting to this point would feel like a relief, but now that it’s actually happening I’m just nervous. There are injections, regular scans, blood tests, egg retrieval, fertilisation and then that horrible wait to see how many embryos make it to day 5. Even seeing numbers like follicle count, AMH and egg numbers feels like they suddenly mean everything. I’m especially worried about the stimulation side and how my body will react. For those who have been through it, did your first stimulation cycle go fairly smoothly or did you struggle with things like bloating, mood changes or pain?
