injectibles side effects

I took gonal-f this cycle. I went through the cramps from my ovaries being stimulated to high heaven, that passed around 4 or 5 DPO. Now I am having AF like cramps around 8 or 9 DPO. Also, my nipples were really sore before ovulation and now they are out of control sore and my breasts overall are incredibly sore. Is this just from the injectibles??

Please let me know if you had side effects after the initial ovary cramping after injectibles!!!!

Did you just use the Gonal-F? Are you using it now? I would say if you are not using it now and have not since ovulation, that it is probably not because of the Gonal-F. Any chance you could be pregnant? Are you using progesterone or estrogen? Those could cause it.

I had emotional side effects after failed IVF and stopping the progesterone and estrogen. Part of it was I was sad and disappointed and the other was the sudden hormone change and my body trying to readjust.

You know what, Im VERY crampy and a lil spotting BUT Im taking Lupron and BCPs. I never had cramping with the Lupron during my last cycle so I dont know what is going on! Just cant wait to get this over and get pregnant!

I had some mild hyperstimulation after Brevelle & HCG injection. I spent the next 2 weeks post ovaluation and IUI with every pg symptom known to man - extraordinarly sore breasts (I swear I grew a whole cup size), fatigue, peeing a million times a day, and AF cramps...every single day until the day I finally got my AF. My breasts are still swollen and sore as a matter of fact and AF has come and gone!

I am taking crinone but last month I took prometrium and a MUCH higher dose and the strangest thing was that my breasts were not sore one bit. It was the first cycle in my entire life....it was kind of weird...

    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...
