First IVF
Hi! Starting my first ever ivf cycle and I’m very nervous. Today is cd 2 and tomorrow I go for my first baseline monitoring. They started me on estradiol and provera today until they advise me when to start meds. Any tips to help me prepare for egg retrieval? Is anyone else starting their ivf cycle as well?

Thank you!!
Keep a healthy diet and light exercise (walks) beforehand. Get electrolytes, ready for lean protein, less carbs diet (plant protein, egg whites, fish etc) and a warm water bottle for post retrieval to reduce bloating, pain and chance of OHSS. This was the best advice and worked so well for me both times! And of course pray pray pray! 😄 All the best! X
Thank you!! 🙏🏼

I started my first cycle almost exactly a year ago. There is not much you can do except make sure you take all your shots at the same time of day, don’t wear any type of perfume to the retrieval surgery, and try not to stress (which is impossible). Then pray pray and pray some more. Good luck to you!
