Hi I have pcos and had ivf. I had a short cycle of ivf no issues at all monitored well through the meds. Only had 6 eggs collected and it worked first time. Is there anything inarticulate you want to know? X

Hey, sorry mine is not the most positive but will hopefully put your mind at ease a little. I started stims last week and had my first scan on Friday. Unfortunately my ovaries have hyper stimulated so I am having to cancel this cycle. I noticed after just one injection that I was already getting bloated, by the third I could no longer fit into trousers and was having stabbing pains (same pain as a cyst but more frequent and on both sides). Dr isn’t concerned and it’s looking like I can just try again next cycle but with a reduced dosage. Just be sure to look out for symptoms and as they do a scan early on, they can stop before anything gets severe and it shouldn’t cause much delay.

Thanks for your reply and sorry to hear this happened. Good luck for next cycle ❤️

No problem hun. Tbh I drank loads of water, no caffeine, just went for walks quite often. Ate healthy. I dont know if all of that helped x
