After only two doses of 150 ml I have been having the worst gas pains - has anyone else experienced this? This early? Thanks

    I am on GonalF, and I have experienced this a little, although I don't know if it's the same as follistim exactly, I know theydo the same job. DH and I have had the same foods exactly
    Over the past 5 days and yet I'm dealing with gas so I'm sure it'

    I did not have this problem while stimming with 150 iu of Follistim.  However, the gas got very uncomfortable after the hCG trigger.  I hope it doesn't get any worse for you!

    I've been a bit more gassy than usual :(

     

    Married 2007
    3 Clomid IUIs -- BFNs
    IVF #1 never made it to transfer
    On "egg health" cocktail DHEA/CoQ10/FRC/Pregnitude/Melatonin
    Starting IVF #2 for Feb 2013
    Follistim/Menopur/Ganirelix
    Cancelled mid-cycle due to high P4 levels early on.
    OCPs again for IVF 2.5 mid-March. IVF 2.5 transferred two "gorgeous" 5-day blasts and BFFN. Even REI is baffled
    On indefinite hold until a huge stroke of serendipity led me to IVF 3 May 2014
    Testing found positive cardiolipins/APS, now on lovenox and intralipid infusions
    Transfer of 2 5-day blasts and (FINALLY) BFFP!! 1st ultrasound shows two sacs and two HB, but one is sluggish, almost expecting vanishing twin Subsequent ultrasound confirmed vanishing twin, but my other Little critter looks fantastic!
