Hey hun I've never took busereline I was on different meds but I think it depends on how intense your gym routine is. I know once you start stimming your not suppose to do any high intensity workouts as your ovaries are going to become very big and swollen and there is a chance your ovaries can twist and that would not be good. Maybe just ask your clinic and let them know what sort of workouts you are doing just in case, or maybe some other ladies can help. Best of luck with your cycle! Xxx

Hi Sheri. Yes, you should be ok but don’t overdo it as you don’t want to increase your testosterone! Diane

You should be fine to exercise until stims but dont underestimate the buserelin side effects and keep well hydrated, you may well not feel like it in a few days. I felt like Id been hit by a bus which eventually turned to feeling like a hangover, without the fun bit first! Good luck.xx

Yes same kind of drugs they are....the bloody joys eh? I think I was only on buserelin for around 2 weeks before starting menopur so hopefully you won't be too long!xx

Yeah they are not very nice at all.. but gota be done...My period is due on the 24th but they did say it could delay it or make it come quicker..was yours on time or late? lol its all the waiting and not being in control that gets me.. i was a little nervous about injections n thought my hubby might have to do it.. but i managed to do it on my own this morning so im happy about that.. xx

Mine was around 4/5 days late unfortunately....seems to be quite common! The lack of control throughout this whole experience is the toughest thing of all!! I tried to get my hubby to do it to feel involved but he was aiming at me like a dart board😱 Thankfully he said "I can't do it".....holy moly thank god!😂😂😂😂😂xx
