Side effects from Gonal-F

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.

Xx

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 πŸ˜‚

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

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
