Hi Angelique,
I've now done 4 rounds of IVF/ISCI.
I didn't find it too painful but it was a bit unconfortable. I swelled LOTS my first time.... about 19 cms which is quite unusual especially in view of the fact that I had no follies.
On my last cycle I had 15 days of stimming on 450 iu Gonal-F as well as Luveris injections from day 8 and injections to stop ovulation (until the trigger injection). Thought my belly was a giant pin cushion!!!

I think it is good to start "young". I wish I had started on this journey much earlier than I did.

Good luck

Katem
