More advice for Burserelin injections please...

Starting Burserelin injections on Saturday for FET and still feeling pretty apprehensive despite some lovely reassuring messages on a previous panicked post.

Firstly did anyone drink while on Burserelin? I’m talking one or two? Please don’t think I’m a terrible person I just have a few events coming up and if I don’t have at least one drink people will instantly assume I’m pregnant and I just can’t be doing with that 😩

Secondly I assume you can exercise while on Burserelin (symptoms allowing!)? I do some pretty hardcore spin and weights sessions a few times a week and depending on how I’m feeling would like to keep it up ideally. What did everyone else do?

As well as the tiredness, nausea, headaches, flushes, mood swings etc I’m now freaking out about the weight gain!! I’m comfortably below to BMI limit for IVF but I’m by no means thin and due to PCOS really struggle to keep my weight under control. So worried that it’s going to shoot up on Burserelin as I’ve heard it can. I know being overweight can impact on the success of ivf so worried about it in that respect mostly. If I’m lucky enough for it to be a success I will hopefully be pregnant and have no chance to loose the weight I could gain and I want as healthy of a pregnancy as possible. Either way I’m stressed about it!

Felt ok past few days then today I’m freaking out worrying again! Any help/reassurance welcome.

Thanks Xx

Hi

I’m currently on suprecur at the moment I have another 4 days left. Firstly if you have 1 drink it’s not going to hurt as long as it’s not the night before egg transfer. You need to look after yourself when going through this and stressing is not gunna help so have 1 or 2.

Secondly I go to the gym everyday exercise is good for you helps de stress so as long as you don’t to those exercise classes after transfer then your ok ! I’m the same with my weight being uncontrollable I know after egg Collection and transfer I won’t be able to go to the gym for a while till I know if I’m pregnant but atm keep doing what you normally do it obviously works because your happy with your weight and positive thinking can only help !

Any loads of luck for the future xXx

Last time I was on it I had a glass of wine, my cycle ended up cancelled because my lining didn’t thin and I’m completely sure it was unrelated. I wouldn’t rule out having the odd glass of wine on it again I just haven’t felt like it..had plenty of tea though..I love tea! I actually lost weight on it last time too, this time my weight has been static so certainly not a huge problem. As for exercise I have no idea, I’ve been doing lots of walking and have an active job but nothing more than that. I’m on day 30 today and now I’m on progynova too it’s really not so bad! Last dose tonight! Xx
