Is crinone the worst part?

Hey Ladies!
In the 2ww of IVF #2 and of course, I'm taking crinone. I don't remember hating it soooo much the first time around. My skin hurts all over, I've had a headache since the transfer, cramping and nausea. How has crinone affected you? Are these symptoms common?

    Wishing you lots of luck!! When is your beta?

    I think what you're feeling is common. Crinone gave me headaches, spotting, and (TMI) made me constipated beyond belief. No fun! Hopefully it's all for a good reason though :)

    I hate crinone :(. I actually opted for PIO this time around. Crinone gave me headaches, spotting, and crazy cervical irritation so I would say the symptoms you are experiencing are (unfortunately) common.

    I hope you get news to make it worth it soon!!

    Ugh, Crinone was hands down the worst part of my IVF/FET experience.  Worse than any shots you have to take!  It just gave me terrible irritation "down there."  It was like a yeast infection times a hundred (TMI).  Good luck getting through it!
    Me 32/DH 36
    Diagnosed w/ endometriosis 6/12
    TTC since 8/12
    HSG/MRI in 2/13 showed unicornuate uterus
    Depot Lupron 3/13-7/13
    IVF#1 8/13; 3 embryos frozen
    FET #1 10/13 BFN
    Moving on to GC w/ transfer hopefully Summer '14
    IVF #2 3/14

    I like Crinone way better than Endometrin and PIO. I didn't really have any side effects except for the mess.  Sorry hang in there, hopefully it will all be worth it.  
    ***SIGGY WARNING***

    DX: Unexplained
    6 Failed IUIs (Clomid and Gonal F).  
    IVF #1 began August 2013- BC, 4 days of Estrace, stimmed with Gonal F and Menopur, Ganirelix, 9R 5M 5F, Medrol and Doxycycline, 5 day transfer of 2 early blastocysts- good quality, Progesterone, Estrace, and baby aspirin, BETA on 9/20 BFN,   IVF #2 began September 2013, stimming with Gonal F (higher dose) and Menopur, Ganirelix, 18R 14M 9F with ICSI, 5 day transfer of 2 BBs one was starting to hatch, 2 frosties: 1  BB and 1 AC, BETA on 10/21, BFN BETA was a 5- chemical 
    Getting some more testing and trying to figure out what the issue is before FET in December, started acupuncture on 11/10, RLP and some other BW nothing major to report except slightly high Prolactin. Prolactin was slightly high when I started with my RE and I already had an MRI which was Neg.  Endo biopsy=negative.  WTF is wrong with us???
    12/18/13 FET of 1 BB and 1 AC.  Hoping for a miracle.  Beta 12/26 Low BETA-8 2nd BETA 5- chemical
    After 3 failed transfers IDK where to go from here.  Still no real answers as to why this isn't working.  Getting a second opinion in February and looking into immune testing.  
    2/14- NEW RE- Immune testing showed a partial dq alpha match with DH- On prednisone and did intralipids prior to transfer.  3/14 Lupron, gonal f, menopur, HGH.  ER 15 mature all 15 fertilized!  5dt of an early blast grade 1 and an expanded blast grade 2.  BETA on 4/21.  1 grade 2 embryo frozen
    BETA #1 59 BETA #2 148 BETA #3 283 BETA #4 2,783! US at 6w2d shows 1 bean measuring right on track! HR 121.  US at 8w3d measuring on track HR 177. Released form my RE.  EDD 12/28
