It’s hormones. I did 5 stim cycles in a year and didn’t realize how crazy the hormones were until after I stopped. Especially with the acne, it may take a few months for everything to go back to normal.

Yes. Think about all the hormones, both natural and synthetic, that are coursing through you right now. Your cycles and skin and emotions are going to be a little off until all the medications have left your system and your levels have evened out. Go easy on yourself and don’t stress!!

My nurse said I would bleed a couple of days after the egg retrieval which I did at the beginning of the month. My cycle usually comes at the end of the month, but it did not, and I seem to have a lot of acne all of a sudden in the areas near my chin which I think is usually hormone related. Is this common? Thanks!
