How do you feel on follistim?

Just wondering what other are feeling.  Last month (110iu) I didn't feel anything but, they said I had 3 mature eggs.  This month (150iu) I just started it lst night I feel really bloated.  

Do you have any other side effects?

  • I'm starting to feel a heaviness.  I've only done 3 nights so far at 200, 200, and 300 for IVF, I expect to be a blimp by this weekend.

  • While taking it for my iui cycles I was bloated. The highest dose I was on was 125iu. When I started taking it for my ivf cycle I was beyond bloated  but then I was taking alot more than normal. Once they added in the ovidrel shot I thought I was going to pop.

  • I'm on gonal-f (different manuf. from follistim) and I am beyond bloat.  I feel like my stomach and butt have puffed out beyond control.  I am wearing big sweaters over my skirts b/c I'm so puffy.
