Gonal F

[Lowena]

Hi, day three of gonal F injection. I feel so sick with a banging headache and achy legs. Has anyone else had side effects? X

Hi Lowena. So sorry to hear this. It's because it works on the pituitary gland in the brain. Try drinking plenty of water, which sometimes helps. Good luck! Diane

Thank you Diane. I will try that. I am guilty for not drinking enough water! X

I am on this meds (4th on today) and haven’t had any side effects and I really think it is because I am drinking SO much water so I would definitely say drink more water! Xx

Thank you. I’m really trying to guzzle as much as possible. Fingers crossed tomorrow will be better x
