Buserelin and Side Effects in Second IVF Cycle

[anz07]

I am on day 6 of Buserelin for my second long-protocol IVF cycle. I thought I would handle it like a champion having injected for 34 days for my first round but instead am struggling with the needle and have already bruised (which did not happen last time!). I am also experiencing some cramping and just feel different to how I felt the first time around. Have any of you experienced different symptoms with different cycles?

Also, a problem I had in my first round is that my withdrawal bleed took a while to arrive, which ultimately meant that I was on Buserelin for a week longer than anticipated. Does anyone have any tips for how to encourage the bleed to happen (if that is even possible?!). I am going on a walk every day as that sometimes helps bring my period on but am open to any other suggestions!

Thanks all
