  That was not the case for me.  I actually did not feel the effects of the stims for any of my IVF's, FWIW I am a super slow stimmer, and only produce 1-2 eggs. 

  I hope that feeling the effects earlier is good sign for you! 

  Sending you lots of luck and PPV's!!!!

  It varied, but my most uncomfortable cycle was the one with no response.

  That is quite the variety. Thanks ladies. I guess I just won't know. It seems strange that at lower stims I have more discomfort, but I am starting to think that has no correlation to success. 

  Thanks!

  I had the opposite experience.  I was really aware of my ovaries growing for the first IVF.  Not so much for the other two cycles.  I responded about the same each time, too.   Good luck!!

  beta#1 3/21 (14dp3dt)=413, beta#2 3/23 (16dp3dt)=785, u/s 4/11

  I had the opposite experience too. Stimmed longer and with more meds. Ended up with pretty much the same amount of eggs though. It definitely taught me that all cycles are different! Good luck, hun! Hope your cycle goes well!

  I felt them more on my first cycle with menopur and bravelle and got less eggs than my 2nd cycle when I did not feel anything at all yet had over twice as many eggs via follistim

  Multiple ectopics, 2 failed IVF's
  IVF #1: Did not get to ET, embies all failed PGD (major chromosomal defects)
  IVF #2: We have 2 chromosomally perfect embies as a result of PGD (Boy/Girl) 1 failed the thaw (Girl) Transferred 1, yet ended as a c/p
  Thought it was the end of our TTC Journey 6/20/2012
  SHOCK BFP 9/28/2012: IT'S A BOY! and everything is normal !!!!!!

  Little A born 38w 2d on 05/23/13 and is a true miracle for this IF Vet!

  As much as I tried hard to not compare cycles, it's soooo hard not to. My second and successful cycle though I did feel the effects a few days sooner which suprised me. I hope it means good things for you too!

  2 IVFs & 1 FET. Welcome home baby girl!
