Default 28 years old...five years of trying

Hey everyone,

Good to find a group to chat with. Just started fertility treatments and hoping to find some help. I'm nervous about the first round of injections that I finished, i believe they gave me some back pain and now I'm achy and sore. Weird. Anyone else had this experience? Any feedback would be great.

I haven't done injections so I can't help you out with the symtpoms but I wanted to welcome you.

I used the gonal f pen 450 and cetrotide. Last day of using both it felt like the muscles in my back were really tense, like they couldn't relax. Anyway... I obviously survived the injections... just wondering if they are harming my body in any way. Thanks for the welcome and offering to help research!!!

im going to look around the web on what i can find for ya. there is a injectibles thread here on sk Injectibles - SheKnows Message Boards they may have some good info for you also if you are going to under go IVF there is a board for that too...not sure if you are but i was going to try injections before i got pg and those where the 2 i was going to use for IVF here is the link Invitrofertilization (IVF) - SheKnows Message Boards

i did find this...the side effects are pretty much the same with both drugs

Quote:
Potential Side Effects: Side effects that may occur include: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, breast tenderness, spotting or menstrual changes, ovarian enlargement, and injection site reaction (pain, swelling or irritation). Treatment with Gonal-f may increase the likelihood of multiple births. The risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) should be discussed with your physician prior to treatment. Early warning signs include severe pelvic pain, nausea, vomiting and weight gain.

If you experience an allergic reaction: difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue or face; or hives; seek emergency medical attention immediately. And if any time you experience: pain, warmth, redness, numbness, or tingling in an arm or leg; confusion, severe dizziness or severe headache, seek medical attention immediately.
i would give your health care provider a call on monday if the pain persist.
