Side effects of Menopur or Bravelle??

I have been a little emotional. Anyone experience this with medication? I'm on my 5th day of Bravelle and Menopur and my first day of Cetrotide was yesterday. Just feeling bloated and emotional. Blah...I'm currently on my elliptical trying to boost my mood. :)

    Bloated is also from your ovaries growing which is a good thing!! Get those follies growing!! Just keep your eye on the prize, all these symptoms will ultimately be worth it.

    @ Joyzie77. Yeah I was on Menopur last week and I became very emotional, moody and just blah. You're not alone :)
    TTC for Baby #1 for 3 years. After 2 failed IUI's & IVFs, God blessed us with our miracle :).  FET 12/17/15 (transferred 2 embryos at 5days). First Beta 12/29/15 = 354. Second Beta 12/31/15 = 694. Third Beta 1/7/16 = 6,695.  Finally heard his heartbeat (126)  on 1/14/16 @ our 1st US.  2nd US on 1/21/16, HR was 159.  The most beautiful sound ever :)

    The in,y symptom I've really noticed from the Menopur is headaches. Has anyone else had headaches? I haven't felt bloated, at least not yet, but I excercise regularly and drink water constantly so maybe that's why? I feel like I should be bloated.. Maybe that means it's not really working? Now I'm worried. Lol

    OMG @adorablepixie... the headaches have been bad. They told me I can't take Advil and it's killing me. I'm definitely bloated but maybe I don't drink enough water. :) Don't be too worried. (easier said than done, right?!) :)

    @Joyzie77 I know! At first I thought I was just having headaches because my head hates me, but then I realized it must be from the medicine because they were so frequent. They've stopped now though thankfully! Have yours subsided?

    @AdorkablePixie ... They aren't quite as bad but the doc said I'm probably sensitive to the meds and will likely get them when pregnant. Boo.... No fun. I'm the same way. Have a sensitive noggin. :) I have my egg retrieval on Wednesday and am so nervous! My first IVF.
