IVF stims? / starting to worry

I hate what IF treatment does to me.  I am not a worrier by nature but now all I do is obsess over this IVF.

Right now I am so worried about how my ovaries / follicles are responding this time.  My first IVF I had such a lame response and I only had one mature egg fertilize.   Flash forward to IVF #2 - I started stims Sunday night and I dont feel anything yet in my ovaries.  I just feel like they should be hurtin or something if the medicine is working.  Yes I know I only have had 2 doses of the stims but I never said I was sane :(  This whole process is such a mind game.  The other thing I am concerned about is my antral follicle count was 10.   I have my first monitoring apt on Thursday. 

Did anyone else not feel anything in their ovaries during the first few days?

    It's so hard to not obsess and worry about something you want so much.  I think that's totally normal!

    I didn't feel anything the 1st few days of stims.  I felt it closer to the end of stimming.  I would try not to worry (easier said than done, I know).  Good luck to you!

    I felt nothing until the day of my ER - when my estrogen finally hit the roof. Before that I felt totally normal.

    For my last IVF, it felt like it took a long time for things to feel like they were "cooking" in there.  I remembered feeling it right away with IVF #1.

    But all was well....

    it is hard, but try not to get too stressed or discouraged!

    Good luck and fingers crossed that you for a beautiful response this time! :)

    I never felt anything in my ovaries the whole cycle. Some people are just more sensitive than others. I had 11 eggs retrieved and 10 fertilized, so I feel it was a successful cycle as far as stimming goes. I would try not to worry too much and wait and see what your monitoring shows. Good luck!!

    I don't think I felt anything until the end of stims, right before ER.
