Has anyone experienced severe side effects from Novarel 5,000 Units Vial (hCG) injections? I just started my fertility journey and I am worried about the possible side effects!

I just started my fertility journey and I am worried about the possible side effects. Has anyone had any severe experiences with Novarel 5,000 Units Vial (hCG) injections? The list of side effects is quite scary, and I am wondering if anyone can share their personal experiences or tips on how to manage them. I have been trying to do as much research as possible, but I would love to hear from others who have been through this. Thanks in advance!

I had a huge allergic reaction including swelling and hives. It was really scary. I had to stop the treatment but my doctor prescribed another fertility drug. I ended up getting pregnant anyway.

I had a really rough time with the injections. I ended up with some pretty severe swelling and weight gain. Make sure to talk to your doctor about any concerns you have. They can help monitor you closely and adjust your treatment if needed. Also, keep an eye out for any signs of allergic reactions.

I had OHSS during my treatment which was scary. I had severe stomach pain and breathing difficulties. I had to be hospitalized but I am okay now. Just be aware of the signs and don't hesitate to seek medical help if needed.

Good luck! I know it's scary, but try to stay positive. Remember that everyone's experience is different. You might have a completely different journey. Stay informed and trust your doctor.

I felt so bloated and uncomfortable. It was really hard to deal with, but my doctor assured me it was normal. Just know that it's temporary and it will pass.

I had some mild side effects like headache and fatigue, but nothing too bad. Just make sure to stay hydrated and rest when you need to!

I had premature puberty when I took hCG. It was a big shock to my body. I had to quit the treatment but I'm okay now.

Novarel has so many side effects, I'm just glad I didn't have to deal with any.
