Gonal f

Just started our 2nd round and have started the gonal f injections again (looking at egg collection on the 9th). The only thing is that i am already getting a lot of twinges and discomfort even though i have only done two injections. I cannot remember how i felt last time as it was so long ago. I can just remember being uncomfortable a couple of days before ec as so full! Is this normal. Starting to wonder if it is in my head (monkey see, monkey do). The twinges are waking me up at night (i am a very light sleeper) and I cannot get comfy.

Is this normal?

Love to all xxx

Hiya. I started Gonal f last Monday and by Thursday/Friday I was soooooo uncomfortable and size of a bus. So I'm guessing it's normal or at least I hope it is! Got my second scan this morning so I'll find out then. Take care. X

I’ve just finished my Gonal F and Cetroride, had my trigger shot last night ready for egg collection tomorrow.

I was the exact same with the Gonal F I had a few days injections and was already feeling twinges, I ended up with a large amounts of follicles in each ovary so fingers crossed it’s a good sign for you 🤞🏼 Lx

Hey just had my egg collection yesterday and was on gonal f for my stims. I was sooo uncomfortable by my last scan to the point it hurt and they said that’s because my ovaries were so full. I had 39 eggs collected yesterday so happy but still very uncomfortable. Felt like I was a balloon about to explode! X

39 is an amazing number. No wonder you were so uncomfortable. Hope you recover soon. Much love xxx
