Femara/Follistim/Trigger - Side Effects

myreality · 09-03-2009, 03:05 PM

I am on the 2ww of my 3rd IUI cycle. This was my first cycle with injections and Femara. I have had several things going on and wanted to hear about others possible AE's from these meds. Ofcourse every cramp, headache and sore boob is a wishful positive thought but I thought some of you may be able to help!!! Any feedback?!?!?

Hi myreality,

i was on a similar protocol. i was on femera 7.5 and follistim 150mg... more meds than you. i had 3 follies on my left on trigger day measuring 22, 22, 21. so im a bit bloated on the left. i am 4dpiui, i think. i did have some nausea a couple of days past ov but i dont think its the trigger or meds as ive been on each before just not in this combination. but i have no sore boobs or headaches.

i can check the sept. miracles thread for ur update but what dpiui are you?

I am 9dpiui. I POAS this morning to see if the trigger was out of my system and it is. I received my trigger on the 25th so that was 10 days ago. I looked online trying to find information about side effects after you were off the meds/injections and couldn't find anything so that is why I started this thread. You have been SO helpful to me on this site!!! I appreciate your willingness to share your thoughts/feelings with me.

When do you get to test again? Your IUI was on the 27th, right?!? Sorry, I am having a brain drain. I hope that neither of us have to!!!
