Meds, Meds & More Meds... what were your side effects?


Hi all -

Just curious about some things here. I just "graduated" from 3 months of IUI with Clomid (and 1 month prior to that of no meds) to The Injectibles (Follistem and Lupron).

On Clomid, I got a little nausea, and some minor cramping during my 2WW. I was/am also on progesterone starting on 3DPO/IUI. I know the progesterone made my bbs a little sensitive about a week before , and I got kind of "sensitive" in my insides, not really crampy, just kind of aware... This happened all 4 months.

This month, my bbs have been super sensitive since I had the IUI. Every other symptom seems the same. Does the Follistem and Lupron make the bbs even more sensitive? Of course I'm hoping this is a good sign but... probably not...

So - anyone out there on The Injectibles (sounds like a movie..!) -- what were your monthly side effects? Thanks.

I noticed way more side effects with Clomid than the injectibles. Lupron gave me horrible headaches but not sore boobs. And, honestly, I didn't feel any different with injectible FSH. I liked it way better than Clomid. Of course, side effects can vary from person to person but hopefully it's a good sign for you. Progesterone did make my boobs a wee bit sore and gave me minor nausea. So, that's makes it hard to see if they are pregnancy symptoms or not. However, when I got my the sore boobs were WAY worse than just progesterone soreness.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Vineyard! I just feel so different this month, I'm hoping it is a good sign but don't want to get my hopes up - because I know the medicines do a number on your body.

I've also cried three times in the past 12 hours, a little unusual for it to be PMS this early. Ugh. I wish you could take a pg test like - the day after ...!

Will be testing this weekend at home, and have blood test next Tuesday at FC.
