Side effects from IVF stims?

[Bernadine]

Hi!  I'm popping over from ML to ask about your side effects.  I'm on gonal-f and menopur so far, adding ganirilex in eventually.  Today is my 6th day (will take them tonight).  I'm exhausted- I'm thinking from the meds.  Maybe a little bloated?  Just wondering what everyone else's experiences were.

Exhaustion was my biggest side effect. Like, by the day of my trigger, I could barely get off the couch. I also had some bloating and felt like I was waddling a bit near retrieval.

My major side effect was bloating.

Tired, bloated, had a few headaches... I think I was in a bit of a haze, probably stress related. I didn't realize how off I was feeling until a couple days after retrieval when I noticeably felt like myself again.

Day 6 is at least halfway there, hang in there!

Thanks everyone!

It's crazy to be so hyper aware of everything going on in your body, isn't it?
