This is my first time doing IVF (couldn’t post to the sub bc of lack of karma) & I’m FREAKING OUT!
The stimms for egg retrieval have severely impacted my mental health. Tonight, for the first time in weeks, I actually felt like being intimate with my husband. We took advantage of the moment. After it was over I began wondering if I could get pregnant while on ovulation surpressents.
While researching, I discovered most IVF doctors say not to have sex during stimms bc your ovaries are enlarged and it could cause torsion.
I am petrified now as I only have 1 fallopian tube left. I feel fine, except for my left ovary feels a bit heavy. I am on day 10 of stimms and will likely do close to 14 days as I don’t have any follicles at/over 16mm yet.
I just really need someone who has been through similar, or knows of a similar story, to tell me it’s going to be okay.
