How soon after starting gonal f do side effects happen? I'm on day 3 but I feel positive and ok, but is this too good to be true? Just wanted to be prepared for the emotional side of things. Hope everyone's weeks are going fab xx

I don’t know about others, but I haven’t had many side effects from the stims even when i was taking Menopur + Gonal F together. My ovaries started getting bigger and slightly uncomfortable from day 6-7, and maybe I was getting bloated or breathless on some days, but not very emotional otherwise. That happened after taking progesterone for a while.

I didn't have any side effects apart from bloating and slight discomfort towards the end. I don't think any of my friends had side effects either tbh.

never at any side effects on any of my cycle. Apart from feeling a bit uncomfortable from my ovaries getting bigger. I’m on day three too :)

I was fine on gonal f and menopur it’s more the other hormones that get me but it does get a bit tiring and uncomfortable after a week or so xx
