lupron side effects?

jellolzjellolz member
in Infertility

i am starting on lupron for a few weeks, and will be on it for six weeks, and i am wondering what the side effects will be like? so far all i've heard is that it makes you really tired. (i'm taking it to coordinate my cycle with an egg donor's, that's why i will be on it so long, i am going to be a gestational carrier.)

 

thanks for your help!

    I've heard all sorts of things, headaches and fatigue seem to be the big two.  I actually didn't have any headaches, though. On the fatigue:  I finally had to tell my boss at work what we were doing, because I was so drowsy in meetings that I was standing up. 

    Good luck on your ED/GC cycle!  How exciting!!!!

    I had headaches and was in a fog (general inability to concentrate) while on lupron.  It got better when my dose was reduced from 10 iu to 5 iu.  I was also always thirsty and was drinking tons of water.

    Some people seem to have more s/e some have less or none.  I hope it treats you well.  Good luck!

    I was on it for 3 months.

    I got depressed, lacked complete motivation for anything. I was sad, couldn't lose weight and actually gained more weight even though I wasn't over eating. It was a huge long roller coaster of emotions for me.
