Follistim- Tired.......

Michilli · 12-16-2008, 11:57 AM

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone else is extremly fatigued while they are taking follistim shots............I feel like I have lead arms and legs.........very foggy mind and could just pass out from fatigue.........Would love to know if I am alone or if other ladies feel this way.

Thanks,
Michelle

Absoloutely!

Your body is working overtime to make a large amount of follicles that will hopefully produce several quality eggs.

Normally, you make several follicles, then one begins to take the lead, and the rest slow down to let the most mature one develop before ovulation.
You are making several lead follicles here all at once, no slow down in sight!!

All that makes a gal sleepy ____it!!!!

Good luck!!!

Oh yes, the whole process plus the extra hormones always threw me for a loop.
GOOD LUCK
