I am injecting with buserelin and am doing that 23 days before i can start stims with menopur. Once i start stims i get blood test 7 days later then decision on when EC will be made depending on the results of that. I'm assuming every clinic is different nothing to worry about.

For all of you girls who took Lupron to downreg - how did you react? I am only on Day 4 of my injections and I feel like I got hit by a Mack Truck! Very dull headache, body ache, and tired.

 

[Sandy83]

Lilly - Really sorry to hear you are having bad SF with the Lupron. Im on Buserelin so unable to give you any advice. I know i was told i could get headaches and muscle aches as SF with mine but havent had any as of yet. Hope it doesnt last for too long xx
