Hey, I'm due to start them in a couple of weeks. I was warned that the Menopur especially is notorious for making you feel quite weepy
Do you have access to the counsellors at ur clinic? Do u think it would help to chat about it. Or maybe ring your clinic tomorrow if you are concerned about some of the side effects
Are you due to have another scan soon?
Good luck
