Side effects from Gonal-F

[Amanda86]

Hey all,

This morning I took my 3rd injection of Gonal-F. The side effects I seem to be getting are constant headache, a pinching feeling in my ovaries with the odd cramp and I'm so tired! 😴 Are these all fairly common symptoms?

I'm taking 200IU of Gonal-F at the moment.

I was on 450 gonal-f and also had headaches, the feeling in your ovaries is Probs the folicles growing I just found my appetite increased I was constantly hungry 😂 Just drink loads of water it defo helps x

Thanks button!

Haven't noticed the hunger thing yet. Maybe because I'm always hungry anyway lol.

I've been sleeping on and off all morning I keep missing half the programmes I'm watching 😂

I will make sure I'm drinking plenty. Thanks 😊 xx

Hi I'm laying in bed as we speak day two of menopur. Headaches are the worst but be worth it hopefully! Good luck xx

They're so annoying aren't they? Mines aren't painful but I have a constant ache. Good luck to you also 😊 xxx

I wasn't on Gonal F but I was SO tired during injections. Apparently it's normal x

Amanda86 im also on day 3 and I'm also getting exactly the same as you really bad headaches, cramping in the ovaries and come the evening I'm so tired and ready for bed what dose of gonal are you on? Xxx

I'm on 200 so not really too high I don't think. What about you?

It's so horrible but I just keep thinking it must be a good sign must mean it's working surely lol xxx

I'm only on 150 so we're not far off each other, yeah the fact we're are getting side effects that's a good sign, mind us the headaches I defiantly need to drink more water xxx
