So my drugs have arrived this morning for FET, I start buserelin on Monday evening, raring to go now as we've had a good break since the miscarriage in September. Had a lovely reflexology session on Saturday with another in two weeks time 😊 Not looking forward to any side effects from the drugs, does anyone have any experience to share of how they made you feel? Xxxx

Hi sprinkles86

Good luck with your cycle!!

I had my last injections last night and EC tomorrow.

I found with the buserelin I had endless headaches, they were manageable but a few were pretty nasty, and also suffered from night sweats!

However once I started stimms which was Gonal f I found they started to balance me out a bit and the sweats stopped and I felt a bit more normal haha

Everyone is different tho, you maybe fine!

Just drink plenty of water!!

Good luck πŸ€πŸ€πŸ’—πŸ’—βœ¨βœ¨

Ooh thanks for the heads up I'll start upping my water now then! I'll be on the buserelin for about two weeks I think and then going onto oestrogen tablets so hopefully won't feel bad for too long xxx

I'm on a fresh cycle. First time so pretty daunting but trying to stay relaxed and think about the end goal! How are you feeling about injections? Not long now. So exciting but scary at the same time!x

I was very anxious doing them first time round but was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be, so this time I'm feeling a lot more relaxed about it! Xxx

My is a DE cycle so just patches for me starting next week. Not sure of the side effects if any as it's our first DE cycle. Have you started injections now?? X

I can relate to the headaches!I was in floods of tears in frustrations over little things (like my swimming pool being closed?!) and did feel bit emotional and quite sorry for myself when I had to inject . I don't think I was too bad apart from that.

All the best xx

Best of luck with ur journey xxx

Aw that's good we will be roughly on the same transfer date then! I think it's a highly emotional time anyway isn't it without the drugs lol xxx I've never used buserelin before so not sure how I will react to it xxx
