Gonal[ and hCG. looking for experiences

[Wingedmare]

Ok, my other thread has all the background etc. I just wanted to get some fresh eyes and experiences.

I am 10 dpo after having shot of GonalF and triggered hCG. I have been having continuous mild cramping. Also, sometimes when I get up from laying or sitting down it almost feel like a muscle pull in my low lower abdomen that relaxes and goes away after a moment. My acne is the worst it has been in a long time as well. I am finding myself being forgetful, the last 3 days I kept "losing" my sunglasses cause I didnt remember where I took them off. And the forgetful stuff is getting me upset, I get really upset over nothing.
I am trying to see who has had what symptoms whether they conceived or not yet with the gonalF and hCG. Trying to figure out what is normal

Hi Winged... for me.. I was terribly forgetful, would lose train of thought easily, be restless, and worry about everything with my fresh cycle. I am now on my FET#1 and in the 2ww.

I did conceive with GonalF and HcG, but miscarried due to an infection I had that I didn't know about. I also did get mild cramping. Did you do your retrieval and transfer yet? Are you also in your 2ww?

[Wingedmare]

Sorry, there is the loopy again...we on doing timed intercourse at this stage. (Gov insurance have to play by their rules) yes, am in 2ww.
could you be more specific as to when you experienced what? Please. Thanks

[HopingtobeaMom]

train of thought .. that was on the gonalF...and after the transfer... i was a fruitloop. I never did the timed intercourse, just jumped into IUI's and IVF's. When are you due to test? I am getting the beta drawn on the 26th

[Wingedmare]

I test on the 25. Just noticed some different discharge than normal for the few days before my period. pretty gooey, normaly I get a little watery that I can smell the iron in (my be TMI but I have an intense sense of smell) and this has a different scent. I don't want to jump the gun and get excited for not though.

I had those symptoms, too. I also got irritated easier. Mine starts within a few days of Gonal F. Right before my trigger I notice a lot of discharge.

[HopingtobeaMom]

How did your tests go Winged? Hoping you had a positive result!!!! I got my results yesterday, and we are pregnant!

[Wingedmare]

Congrats. We are neg again.

[HopingtobeaMom]

well winged our joy was short lived. beta went from 57 to 141 to 4981 and after 6 days it should have been over 18000 and was only 6675 and i passed them yesterday. so now... we wait and try again

[Wingedmare]

sorry to hear that Hoping. It's a kick to the gut every time. I don't even take tests anymore, I just let the docs do it when I go in for my follow ups.

So, here we are in another cycle.

I was bumped up to 100mg of clomid days 5-9 and then my Gonal F shot on the 7th. I went in for my ultrasound on the 9th to find only my right side active this month, but with two good ones. One at 20 and one at 17, so I got my hCG shot that day, which is two days earlier than last cycle. The shot wasn't as much of a surprise this time with how painful it was and so I didn't curse loud enough for the entire clinic to hear me.

One the 10th I made the drive to see my husband so we could time it out and he has now been home for the weekend, so we are making the most of it.
Odd occurance this cycle, Last month my acne was beyond awful and DID NOT go away until I go THIS MONTHS hCG shot, with in hours of it the acne cysts started coming to a head and rupturing and healing and now, while I am still mildly broke out, I am not ashamed to leave my house.

Thoughts? anyone else experience anything like this with the ance?
