I was always on 450 menopur due to low amh, at first I always felt fine but towards the end I felt drained and bloated. Hang in there almost there now xxx

I am totally with you...I was on 450 of Menopur last time and felt ok until the last couple of injections. This time I am on 375 Gonal F and have been stimming for about a week and I feel like shite!! Tired, bloated and achey 😭😭 from tomorrow I am adding Menopur too...😭

Only a few more days to go and fingers crossed it will all be worth it xx

I felt terrible too. Headaches were unbearable. I couldn't get out of bed on two days. I felt like I had terrible flu. I also gained a ridiculous amount of weight and looked about 5 months pregnant which was decidedly unfair as I ended up with a bfn. I hope you're symptoms don't last too long. x

No worries. πŸ˜€ It means big fat negative. Yeah I kind of assumed everyone would get them. I'm psyching myself up for round two now! Start down regging on 26th. I'm more concerned about the side effects and becoming bat shit crazy again. πŸ˜‚ x

Absolutely! Although I do think they get it in the neck a bit and feel rather helpless during this time. Thanks Hun. We'll see. I'm trying to not think too much about it. I know that once I'm in the process that I won't be able to think about much else but I don't want to put all my hopes on it. I've started to look at private clinics in the area just in case it doesn't work out so I've got an idea of next steps. Also, I've got to write all of my children's reports during the process which will take my mind off of it hopefully. When is your egg collection? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. x

Yes very true they do have to put up with allot fair play....apparently the second go is the best to catch so I'm sure u will have luck the next try hun...not sure when egg collection is yet I have a scan half 8 tomorrow morning so hopefully my eggs are 18mm then I should have the egg collection soon after I'm hoping this week x

I'll keep my fingers crossed for your scan tomorrow then. Hopefully your lining will be looking lovely and thick and your follicles will be numerous! Yes. I definitely benefited from work. I work with children so that is all consuming and when I am there, I can't really think about anything else. I find that helpful although a tad emotional at times. Let me know how your scan goes tomorrow. Vic x

I was always on Menopur 450. Eating small amounts regularly instead of a great big meal, drink loads of water, take paracetamol if you need it. I was terribly swollen and looked pregnant by the end. I also felt sore like a pin cushion that had been stabbed all over. The swelling, bloating and feeling sick will eventually pass. Hang on in there. Try and stay off pasta and bread. xx
