Hey there Sunshine!
Not very intense at all!! Especially after bouts of IVF...seems like nothing!

For my first two rounds I was stimming with Gonal-F
once a day at 150. I was really surprised at how well I responded at that (seemingly) low dose. I go in on Day 3 to check bloodwork and check for cysts. Then stimming started. I went back after 4/5 days of stimming, then usually 1 or 2 days later and then trigger and go in either 24 or 36 hrs after trigger for IUI. Really so much easier on my body and time than IVF by a long shot. This last cycle we added Menopur because I wanted to be a bit more aggressive (due to my age). I have been able to get 5+ mature follies, but so far only
BFN's. I am 99% certain that is what tomorrow will bring unfortunately. Sigh. But we will be giving it another go. I have much more energy while doing this than I did with IVF and since no ER or ET no bedrest, etc. needed at all.
I also had an HSG to make sure my one lonely tube was properly open before we started--which it was.
Wishing you the best of luck!!! Hope that
DH gets a good bill of health.
