s/e from follistim?

I did my 1st Follistim injection of 100iu last night & woke up this morning very nauseated, sore back & almost feeling like I have "flu-like" symptoms. Is this a common side effect from the medicine?

I know everyone is different, but what side effects did you all experience, if any, with Follistim? Just curious as to what I may expect.

TIA!

    I had the same thing happen to me. The nurse told me that was not a s/e.  I ended up getting some kind of bug while I was stimming and was sick for 2 or 3 days. That was NOT fun. I hope that isn't what's happening to you!

    I don't remember any noticable s/e while I was on Follistim. Hope you feel better soon.

    I didn't really have any side-effects until I was on follistim for a week and then it was mild bloating.  I was also so sick with a sinus infection when I was on stims that if I had any other side-effects, I may not have noticed.  Hope you're feeling better soon.

    I have had no side effects beyond the bloating associated with all the developing follies. I hope you feel better soon.
