First cycle of medications

I feel awful. I'm in my first cycle of medications and I am weepy and bloated and miserable. Feels like I am losing my mind and it's just hard to focus on the end goal.

Re: First cycle of medications

  • Are you on clomid? How many mg?
  • @chamel790 I'm on my first cycle with meds, too. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th days were the worst for me (as far as side effects go). Hang in there!

  • I'm on gonal f and just started menopur since my estradiol was only 29
  • Thanks for your support. I'm on day six today so I'll try and keep cheerful :)
  • It does get easier as your body adjusts to the meds. By that time you will be pregnant so you get the pregnancy hormones that make you bloated and weepy. :)
  • Chamel, I start menopur soon too. I hope it gets better for you! I took clomid before and the side effects sucked. What made it even worse is the clomid didn't work for me.

  • I had similar symptoms on Clomid.  I had several symptoms on Clomid.  I have moved to injectables and the symptoms are only the emotional part, no physical symptoms.  The injectables are much better symptom wise for me.  I have more irritating symptoms with the trigger shot and the progesterone than the FSH injectables.  I'm sorry you are having a hard time.  Try to find some quiet time for yourself so you can rest your mind.  That helps me, even if it's only 15-30 minutes of just down time.  Finding someone to talk out your emotions with helps as well.  Good luck!
