Hello there. I hope it's OK for me to post here; it just seemed like this was the most likely place for people who have had experience of the IVF drugs I'm on.
I'm some days into a cycle of IVF treatment for egg donation. I've been on Suprecur nasal spray since 21st Oct and I started Gonal F injections two days ago.
In the last week or so I've been suffering with heartburn/indigestion for the first time in my life ever - but I can't seem to find much online about whether this is normal. Has anyone else had it? It's pretty unpleasant. I was wondering if it was the suprecur or lingering effects from mild gastro bug I've had. I've also been having a bit of general abdominal aches and pains. Don't get me wrong - it's not the worst thing in the world, but if I can blame it on the drugs I can relax about it because it'll be over in a couple of weeks.
Since I started the Gonal-F though, I have been quite bloated in the evenings. Last night was so bad I had to go and lie down, and this morning - apologies - I have been trumping like a trooper since I got up. Is this normal? Will it just get worse until egg retrieval?
Also - does anyone know if the Gonal-F might mitigate some of the emotional symptoms of the suprecur? (which I'm continuing at same dose) - I just wondered, as have been pretty irrational and emotional for the last two weeks.
Thanks in advance for your help.
