I was just wondering if anybody could help me out with Menopur and what to expect and what not to expect.
I’ve been on Menopur for three days now and tonight is the first time I’ve really felt any symptoms and they’re really uncomfortable already!
I keep getting sharp twinges tonight in my ovary area and mid pelvis. I expected these, these I can cope with (I think 😂 they come and go so suddenly a couple have made me jump!). But literally within the last hour my stomach seems to have blown up, which is making me feel really uncomfortable and I’ve got a lot of lower back pain. I expected all of these but I didn’t realise they’d happen so soon, or so suddenly.
Today was only my third day too - I started them Saturday. I have a scan booked in for this Friday and then another on Monday and Wednesday next week with a provisional egg collection being on the Friday, the 16th.
It’s normal to get so bloated and rounded and get the sharp pains on the third day, right? I’ve also got an uncomfortable feeling high up in my stomach which kind of feels too full and I feel a bit queasy too. I’ve been warned about OHSS but it can’t be, it’s too early right? And I’ve also read that OHSS seems to happen to women who have more follicles and maybe have polycystic ovaries - I have 9 follicles in total.
Any thoughts/views etc will be greatly appreciated
