Hey ladies. Hope you are all as well as can be! Just checking in after first EC cycle yesterday.
Got there at 10 and was out by 2.30 with cold capping. Once I got home the fatigue hit straight away. Didn’t even have energy to look at phone but couldn’t sleep. Felt a bit sick on occasions but had a piece of toast eventually when I felt up for it and it went away mostly. Nodded off about 9 and now wide awake at 1.30am!!
In regards to cold capping - it really wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. This first 20 mins was intense, like a freezing cold vice on my head but paracetamol kicked in and got used to it. Was happy to get it off though. Thank you alL for advising to push through with it. The nurses I had today were much more helpful and supportive of it xx I’ve shared a little selfie below ![]()
