Thanks girls.
Sheree, you have echoed what I have been worrying about. Given that I still have 'text book' ovulation during natural cycles, I think my dose of 300 Gonal-F was way too high. I think I may have been overcooked as a very wise woman has suggested. Interestingly, I had no ovarian pain whatsoever during the stim cycle. Even after the trigger. I am in my ovulatory phase naturally at the moment and have had pain for around 24 hours and some bleeding. My poor ovaries are probably still trying to recover.
Hi Luckydraw. Yes, my ex and I tried natural therapies for 2 years before IVF - tok me that long to get him to the clinic. I also used to have 12 months break between IVF attempts and would go back to the natural stuff. The last 2 years we were TTC I tried so many things - chinese medicine, hypnotherapy, aromatherapy, reflexology, massage, the blood-type diet - I could go on and on. I have a chinese massage therapist who is going to make me some rice wine. Just 1 tbsp a night. Not sure if it's any good for fertility but she says it's good for warming the whole system - circulatory/digestive. I really believe it's all connected. Can't hurt!!
Thanks again.
Sue
