Lightheaded after injects

in Success after IF
I'm on day 3 of Gonal-F and for several hours after injecting myself, I feel super lightheaded. Unfortunately, I started on day 1 doing the injection at 3pm, so I'm stuck with that. I should have waited until bedtime. 

Has anyone else experienced this? It's also making me SUPER hungry, but that I can handle ;)

    I also did gonal-f, but don't recall that as a side-effect. Maybe eat before and it will help? Sorry :(

    I thinks it's probably normal. I actually blacked out once after doing follistim and menupur during my IVF cycle. It was so scary! My RE said that it was probably more from anxiety than from the meds. Check w your RE if you are worried.

    Thanks, ladies. I didn't think about the eating thing. I've finished the Gonal-F for this cycle, and hopefully it'll be the last time I'm on it...
