Sharing Experiences: Follistim AQ (300iu) 0.36ml for Ovarian Stimulation
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 found that using a numbing cream at the injection site made the process much more bearable. Just a tip from someone who's been there.
I totally relate to that emotional roller coaster. Just remember, each step is bringing you closer to your goal. Hang in there!
I've had a couple of really bad days where I just wanted to crawl into bed and never come out. But I keep reminding myself why I'm doing this and it helps.
I wish I had known about the emotional support groups out there earlier. They've been a lifesaver for me.
Has anyone else experienced really bad headaches? I'm not sure if it's just stress or a side effect of the meds.
I had the worst case of irritability and my partner said I was borderline unbearable. But I guess that's better than the alternative.
