IVF meds for egg retrieval side effects

Hello ladies, I’m currently going through egg retrieval process and I feel very defeated today. I’m on my 7th day today and started cetrotide. It was very painful and it felt like the needle was in there half an hour later. The menopur is starting to be very painful as well. I have been eating well, drinking enough, doing my smoothies. But I can’t sleep anymore because my body is in pain all the time. Anybody else had the same problem? All my friends who went through it say it wasn’t painful at all. Just wondering. That’s my current dosage in the pic.

My advice would be to ice the spots before injecting. Also inject slowly. Especially the menopur.

Thank you Molly. Will try that out tomorrow.

You're welcome! Icing makes you hardly feel it and reduces the chance of bruising

Just went through this and it's tough. But you should just have a few more days. I took Amazon sleep (okay with my doctor). It helped immensely. You got this mama.
