Bubwishes, for me when I hyperstimulated the first time, AF arrived after 8 days. It was quicker because I didn't have to use the crinone. It's important that you rest, drink gatorade and keep a very close eye on how you are feeling. Straight to hospital if things get bad. I didn't follow my advice first time, and it ended up taking three weeks to recover. You should start to feel better once AF arrives.

As for how to do it differently... I'm told that I just need to accept that this is the way my body does this. If further stim cycles become necessary, they'll keep watching, keep monitoring trying to make it not so bad, but my PCOS means it's pretty likely no matter what. Hopefully with 8 blasties in the freezer, you'll never have to stim again. We got 4 the first time, two didn't thaw (unusually bad thaw rates, I'm told), the two that transferred both took, but both miscarried, unfortunately. And that's why we're doing another stim cycle...

It's a scary prospect, but it can be done. Good luck with your FET cycle to come and I hope you are well soon.
