Mmm yeah , I felt like it took a bit for the symptoms to build, then they levelled out and I just felt tired with sore bits . Drink plenty of water and nap when you can 😘 you can do this πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–

I also had that weird discharge which is like excess plastic stuff not needed . But it’s proven to sustain pregnancy so hopefully a small price to pay πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜˜πŸ’–πŸ’

Im so ill though it even hurts my stomach to breathe! I cant work like this, my dr said to just take it as a precaution but ive never felt like this throughout the whole ivf cycle! I cant take 2 weeks of this, and work and look after my daughter. If it settles quickly maybe but if not i think im gonna have to stop it xx

It does sound like pretty strong symptoms for Crinone. I’ve taken it on three cycles and never felt that bad, even when I was doing that plus a cyclogest.

I would give your clinic a call in the morning and see if you can switch to cyclogest instead? Just in case it’s something in crinone not agreeing with you xx

I think i will kiboxx, ive never felt so bad! Seems to have flared up over night though i was really sore as soon as i started to take it, i feel like i have full blown flu aswel as being really sore. Hurts to go the loo, just cant carry on with this xx

Yeah definitely doesn’t sound right! You can use cyclogest in the back door instead, I find it a lot easier than crinone! Hope you feel better soon xx

I felt like had the the flu for two days too at the start but never thought it was the gel? Maybe it was. If you take paracetamol do you feel better? If not defo ring your clinic
