Question on IVF side effects (estrogen priming w antagonist protocol)

Lady2010

Hi. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am on CD3 of this protocol. I had been using the Vivelle patch for about 10 days and starting last night started 150 Menopur & 300 GonalF. Even before I did the injections last night my husband commented my breast are getting bigger again. I had also noticed the last few days my bras were getting tight again and I was back to wearing more comfortable sports bras. Has anyone else had this problem? I am going to go get a new bra today - but only one or two since I don't want to keep buying new ones every few weeks. Any thoughts or experience are appreciated. Thank you!

I have been on Gonal F and Menopur but only for IUI's ... but they made my boobs sore and I felt bloated.....

not sure about the Vivelle.... but I think when you are on so many hormones what you are experieincing is very normal....

Good luck on your cycle!!!

Thanks!  Definitely went up a size - having to constantly get new bras is not fun but at least I know that this is normal.  

Good luck to you as well!!
