Heya. Good luck ☺️ I’ve used menopur on all my fresh cycles, and generally didn’t feel much for the first week or so, then started feeling a bit bloated and ‘busy’ or heavy in the abdominal area. Nothing too dramatic. But I was quite lucky with very few side effects, I know many struggle more on these strong hormones. Hope all goes well for you 💪🤞

Hey, best of luck with your round. I am just finished Menopur and waiting transfer on Monday. This was my second round but first with Menopur and I found minimal side effects. I had two random days when I was really tired but I think I had just been over doing it and apart from a bit of bloating coming up to the end of stims, I was pretty much fine. 😊

Almost coming to the end of Menopur on my 4th cycle.

I don’t generally get many side effects but this cycle I was super tired, could fall asleep as soon as I got home from work and the usual period style heaviness/cramps which get stronger as the days go on but still wouldn’t class it as uncomfortable or anything.

Hi, yeah I feel bit tired but nothing major going on so far just dreading tomorrow as I have work so have a feeling its gonna wipe me out a bit but fingers crossed I will be fine 🙂 good luck with your journey 😊

Menopur has never made me tired, I think a lot of it is we expect side effects and often there aren't any! The main thing I found was as my ovaries grew I had a bit of twitching and stretching there, but compared to the many other drugs I've taken I think it was my fave as very low maintenance! Good luck! x

I never had any side effects from Menopur apart from feeling bloating and a feeling of fullness in the lower abdominal area after first week or so due to ovaries growing. All the best x
