Gonal-F help

I took my first ever dose of Gonal-F (225) last night at 8pm and by 10pm I had awful lower back pain and pain in my tummy just under my ribs. I had less than an hour sleep and was in A&E this morning as wasn’t sure if this was all related. I still feel ropey and just don’t think I can get through taking this med for 2 weeks. I’m so upset. Worth mentioning I took provera too to bring on my period. Did anyone else have this issue? Did it get better for you?

I am so sorry that you had such bad side effects. I was on the same doze, but it was fine for me, I didn't feel anything at all apart from being nauseous. What did they say at the A&E? Do they think it's a side effect from the medication? Did you contact your clinic? I hope you fell better soon and maybe someone here will be able to share if they had a similar experience x
