Bemfola side effects

Hello! I'm new here. It's my first round of IVF and I'm on day 3 of Bemfola 300/day. I feel pretty strange... tired, bit nauseous, spaced out and I've been to the toilet more times than usual. Is this normal? What side effects do other people have?

Hiya, I was on Bemfola though a lower dose and I was really fortunate not to experience side effects except bloating and irritability. But in contrast when my wife took stims she felt very spaced out and even struggled with driving. So these drugs can affect different folks in different ways. Be gentle on yourself, drink plenty of water and do speak to the nurses if anything doesn't feel right. You've got this!
