I had my first injection on a friday night and I could feel action in my ovaries on saturday! I thought i imagined it but I cant of done by the mon I had 11 follies. Then 21 then a crazy 40. Dont compare yourself with me 40 was too much. nearly had to abort cycle. everything was delayed. Its good to get less than half that amount. I felt heavy 9mths preg which isnt nice when you know youre swollen but theres no baby there. Hey good luck!!!!!

It may of been a day or two, but then I was in the bathroom every 5 mins! The pressure made me have to pee so much.
I did stim (Gon-F 225) for 9 days. On the 10th day there were 9 measurable follicles. Come the day of retrieval there were 19!

I JUST got the package with all my new meds for my next cycle while I was typing this! YAY!!

Good Luck! :-)

The only other advice I was add luvdog1. is to get some comfortable roomy pants, like sweat pants or even some maturnity pants. I am on day 8 and it is like having 2 grapefruits in my pants, so I borrowed some maturnity pants from my sister...It is pretty cool how fast they grow. I am on day 8 and have 14 follicles. Good luck!!!

Hi There!! I started my Stims today. I was so glad to read all of these replys. I have been so afraid. I was on Lupron for 3 weeks, and felt ok except for some GI trouble - it was bad! I already am feeling some things happening. CRAZY! I was told I had 10 follicles before we started the STIMS, can I really get more? I am confused. Also, how bloated is too bloated? The nurse made me afraid of severe bloating. She also discouraged me from exercising except for walking, as I could twist an ovary. Any thoughts....??

good luck. I start stim 2morrow!!

deleted_user 10/13/2007

I didn't feel anything the first few days. As the follicles got bigger I got more and more bloated. I was not uncofortable until a day or two before the retrieval
Good Luck

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
