Hi all, so I have been on 100iu of Gonal F for 5 days. I went for a scan on Sunday and he upped the dose to 150iu when I will go for a scan tomorrow again. I have been woken for the past 2 nights at 3.05 and 3.45. Once with a cramp behind my knee, once with a cramp on the outside of my right leg. After a few minutes it went away. I am so so worried that the injections have caused a DVT. The leg is not swollen, discoloured, red. It is a bit painful but I think that is from the cramping - like the after pain, muscular. I sent my doc a message and he called me this morning. Said not to worry, I am on aspirin, it is very rare that this would happen in the pre treatment for IUI and he has never had an incident of it before. However, my anxious mind says I will be the first. What if it is DVT as I had it before, 18 years ago? Has anyone else had cramping problems on Gonal? The doc did tell me that I would need to up my intake of water which stupidly, I didnt do and I had wine last night so I am thinking maybe it is dehydration. I am so tired, tired with injections, tired with hormones and tired with worry :(

Dehydration or coincidence seems a far more reasonable explanation. Have some banana too.
