IVF due to start

I’m due to start my first round on my next cycle. My clinic have advised me to contact on 1st day of period and I will start meds on day 21 of cycle and egg collection is scheduled for mid feb. Has any one else had a similar timeline? Will I be take the pill? Or straight in with injections? I’m just curious?

I chose to undergo IVF on my own. I’m glad of my decision. Sometimes I do worry, but I honestly don’t have the emotional capacity to be in a relationship. People are too inconsistent for me😩

Early pregnancy and asprin

So iv jusy found out I'm 4 weeks pregnant, but recently 2 months ago I had my 4th MC and someone told me now that I'm pregnant to start using asprin, but others are telling me not to use asprin as it can interfere with implantation..

Line eyes?

Got my IUD out a few weeks ago as we were ready to try for #2. Doc told me it could take up to 3 months for my body to regulate again so it may not happen immediately. Am I hallucinating or do you see what I see?
