I am giving myself my first shot of Gonal-F tomorrow. Any success stories out there??

is that like Ovidrel and Pergonal? I did Ovidrel last cycle and tomorrow i find out if i can do it tomorrow night. Hey, we can be in the 2ww together if that happens :)

I had no problem with the shot itself but my right ovary defenitly was hurting/uncomfortable by the time the 36 hours rolled in.

Good LUCK and keep us posted.

Thanks Girls! I will keep all of you posted! I suspect I will have to do the shots for about 7 to 10 days before the HCG shot.....I am keeping my fingers crossed!

Yes, I think it is like Ovidrel and Pergonal....it makes you produce multiple eggs....

Hi there! No success yet but I start my injections on the 17th! Good luck to you and let me know if you have any questions...oh, we triied the arm first (and then my DH did a Pulp Fiction move) so then we did the butt for a while before switching to the stomach...which really works out the best for us. The shot does not hurt at all. But my husband does it...not me. I'm a scaredy cat! Good luck!

I was on Gonal F up until yesterday, but I am doing IVF. I produced a ton of follies. If you have the pen it is a totally easy shot to give. I liked it the best out of all of the injectibles. Good luck!

No success yet but i did Gonal-F for IVF in Aug and IUI now and i seem to react pretty well to it. Lots of follicles and no side effects really.

Good luck!

I know this is a much older thread, but I'm also on Gonal-F for the first time and will be doing IUI next week. It's inspiring to hear success stories...does anyone have one to share?

We did Gonal-F during our IVF cycle. It's really not so bad at all, I found it the easiest of the injectibles (certainly far easier than the progesterone in oil shots!). My partner is now almost 36 weeks pregnant with a little girl from that cycle. So it can happen!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
