How to determine the date of egg retrieval. Part 2

On the 12th day of menstruation, I returned to the clinic for blood collection and an ultrasound.

After consulting with the doctor, we decided to wait and see how things progressed before determining the egg retrieval date. Therefore, I received two more days of fertility drugs and a small amount of anti-ovulation medication before heading home.

Regarding my physical condition, my abdomen was becoming quite tight as I had been continuously taking Clomid up to this point, but I did not experience any severe pain. During the first day or two after starting Clomid, I felt a bit constipated, but that discomfort naturally resolved.

The only thing I didn't appreciate was the sensation of having an upset stomach, which was unpleasant. However, I was relieved that the side effects were not too strong. By the way, I am the type of person who goes to the gym and exercises daily, but I decided to temporarily refrain from doing so as instructed by the doctor. I was advised that strenuous exercise is not advisable for me.
