Hi DJTTC,

Nice to meet you sorry you have to go down this road!

I guess the main thing that shocked me was the fact that I spent 2 months on the pill, injections etc for my 1st cycle, only to have it cancelled because of a poor response, I didn't really expect that and I was shattered at the time. Hopefully for you because you have already been doing the puregon they will have worked out what is a good dose for you, so that won't be a problem.

I found the injections easy, and you should too as you are already doing them!

The other thing I would say is that I was quite open about my first cycle with my family, but found my mum was telling everyone she knew a blow by blow account of my progress unbeknownst to me so I had to tell her to be a bit more discreet next time!

Diffierent clinic are obviously different but I found I had to 'be in charge' of my care and make sure the clinic was on the ball, BB is good because you can see how other clinics do things and get a bit more knowledge to confront your FS with lol!

Anyway, good luck, I am starting a stim cycle next week too so come and join us in the LTTC and Assisted Conception thread, we can go through it together!
