I've recently started using Follistim AQ for ovarian stimulation as part of my IVF journey. I wanted to share my experiences and hear from others who have gone through this process. So far, I've had some mild side effects like irritation at the injection site and a bit of fatigue, but nothing too severe. I'm curious to know how others have handled their side effects and any tips they might have for making the process smoother. Does anyone have any good resources for managing the emotional roller coaster that comes with IVF as well?

I recently went through an IVF cycle and my doctor prescribed Cetrotide 0.25mg for hormone suppression. I had heard a lot of mixed opinions on this medication. Has anyone else used this? I want to hear some real experiences, especially any side effects you might have had and how you managed them. I felt a bit anxious about the injection process, but my doctor assured me it's quite straightforward. I'm curious to know how others found the injections and any tips for making the process smoother.
