Anyone take these meds before?

Question

Hi! In a few days, im scheduled for my baseline labs and ultrasound, then I am supposed to start my IVF meds that night. Has anyone taken any of following meds, and if so, did they cause any side effects? I haven't been told much about these medications so I'm just looking to find additional info on; Gonal-F, Menopur, Novarel (Hcg) or Ganirelix.

Answer

My baseline appointment is on Monday the 9th 😊

Answer

Taking the gonal f now! It’s really not bad it’s a very small needle (I use the redi-inject one). I’ve had some nausea and mild headaches but other than that nothing too crazy to speak of. As my follicles grow I do feel quite bloated but so far nothing more than what I experience with a period

Answer

Thank you everyone for your responses. I've been waiting since October 2017 for  IVF to start.... So I'm really excited. I wish everyone else good luck as well!

Answer

No. I’m taking dexamethasone, meriofert and fostimon during storms.

Answer

I took menopur (Medicine does burn a little when injecting) ,follistim no issues, ganrilex ( you might notice skin reaction or redness) novarel as my trigger no issues. I had my transfer yesterday. Best wishes

Answer

I took all but the novarel. I was prescribed pregnyl(hgc). The gonal F was the easiest and the ganirelix was okay too. The menopur did stung just a little felt like a pinch. The lupron(trigger) was ok too. I didn't trigger with the pregnyl because of my risk for ohss so I triggered only with the lupron. I didn't ice or used any heating pads. Overall I didn't have any side effects with the meds beside the minor bloat. Everyone does react differently to the meds.
