IVF FIRST TIME
Show your support
Try to take a day at a time and not to over think what is coming or might be coming as the future is uncertain. Plan nice things to do on days you know might be hard and nice things to keep you distracted. Over all, be kind to yourself and ypur partner. It can really take a toll if it doesn’t go as expected
I’m in the same position - also day 5!! Wishing you all the best!!
Keep distracted and busy. Make plans with friends, pick up extra hours at work, get into a new video game or book, wash the car, ANYTHING to keep your mind off it lol The time will go by quicker when you’re not thinking about it. Good luck!
Acupuncture and lymphatic drainage massage helped me out a lot
How’s it all going?
@Laura sorry it didn’t notify me you commented!! It’s going well! We have 6 embryos that made it to the blastocyst stage and we are waiting on our PGTA results now. Symptoms post retrieval have been a struggle tho! How are things going for you?
We got four fertilised, one made it to day five and I had it transferred yesterday (still waiting to see if the others make it) so just waiting now and trying to resist the urge to test test test 😂
@Laura sending baby dust your way!! Just sent you a message!
Be kind to yourself and lean to your significant other for support. Also, start stool softeners now because constipation after egg retrieval is no joke lol
