Thanks for all the responces......I was watching a show on the discovery channel where a woman had to be rushed to the ER for bad side effects from these injections......this was last week before I knew I would be taking them myself........LOL so I got nervous......she ended up with six babies though!.......I am praying my follies rupture this time around!!! I was told this is very rare for them to get to the point where everything shows OV but then it never ruptures.......our bodies are way too complicated!
Hi, I took Follistim for 2 cycles. I never had any real side affects, maybe some headaches and pain at the injection site, but nothing other than that! When I took Clomid, I had every single symptom listed that could've been a side affect! We got pregnant on our 2nd cycle with Follistim and are being induced in just 12 short weeks! Good luck!!! :)
hi guys i was on gonal f 250 at a time and 300 but had no side effects
I did Gonal-F 2 x's & like Andrea my only side effect were some bad headaches......which I get during certain times of the month ANYWAYZZZZZ!!! LOL
I only have one ovary & I did notice that after I O'd it stayed a bit sore for several days, I think it was just cuz of my big follies that sort of stretched out my ovary.
I'm sure you'll be fine :0)
I was worried too--I'm always convinced I'll be the one in a million that ends up w/ the worst side effect. But other than a little soreness at the injection site, I didn't have any side effects. I was very pleasantly surprised. Good luck!
Im on my second month of gonal-f injections(1st month 75iu & 2nd 150iu) and my only real side effect was headaches! Also, I'm sure you are starting on a lower dose...I'm thinking those bad side effects are for the lager doses!
