Menopur fatigue

MrsbabyhopesMrsbabyhopes member
in TTC after 35
I just completed two days of 75ml injects of Menopur and 5 units of Lupron and I feel so tired that all I want to do is lay in bed. I was feeling a little blue until I realized that it's probably just the Menopur. I told my nurse and she said I would probably be fine. I can't help wondering if I'm just lazy or if it really is the Menopur. Do or did any of you have any Menopur symptoms?

    I took Menopur ( 150ml)  and I didn't have any major fatigue.....   I start again in a few days so hopeful that is true again.

    Sorry hope you get some energy back!

    I also took Menopur (150iu) along with Follistim (450 iu) and low does Lupron.  It was back in September and I really don't recall being overly tired to be honest. Perhaps just the stress of IF is causing some of the tiredness.  Take care of yuorself and listen to your body. We all react differently to meds.

    I'm sure you will be fine and I wish you the best of luck with this cycle!!

    Hmmm... maybe I'm just lazy then. I felt energetic yesterday. Tiredness is listed as a common side effect of Menopur though. It could just be a case of the Mondays, I suppose.
