I've been using Chor Gonadotropin (hCG) injections for fertility treatments, and I'm curious if anyone else out there has had any severe side effects. I've read about things like neurological symptoms, emotional changes, and even signs of blood clots, but I'm wondering how common these are and if anyone has had personal experiences to share. Also, any tips on managing side effects? Is there anything I can do to mitigate them? Thanks in advance for any insights!

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.
