If you did more than one medicated cycle

If you did more than one fresh IVF cycle, did you have the same side effects or lack thereof?
I got awful migraines from Lupron and was so fatigued I barely made it through a work day. I am already dreading even the thought of putting Lupron into my body. I don't know how I will find time for acupuncture with working and caring for a toddler.


IF is the gift that keeps on giving even when you have a child.

Re: If you did more than one medicated cycle

  • I hardly noticed any side effects from the meds during my 2nd IVF cycle. That one was MDLF vs Long Lupron, so the lack of headaches was probably partly due to that, but I was on the max dose of Gonal and Menopur the second time around and I felt fine. Honestly, I think because I was so busy at work and taking care of my toddler at the time I had less time to "experience" any side effects, or at least pay much attention to them. Hope this cycle goes smoothly for you!

  • The first time I took lupron the side effects were awful, I didn't want to take it again for this last cycle but didn't have another option. I went into it bracing for the worst & it was nothing like my prior experience. I had none of the same side effects & I got through it just fine. FX you have the same experience!

  • Yes and no. My Lupron induced anxiety was much worse the second time, but I the hot flashes were better. My Menopur side effects were much better the second time around.
