Hi, newbie to IVF

I am so glad I found this forum. New to this whole IVF thing so not sure of anything, I feel so lost sometimes and wonder if I am doing it right...it's nice to read the comments and know there are other and I am not alone!
I started my stims on 1/14 with Gonal and menopur. The menopur stings everytime and my headaches come and go throughout the day.
Had my day 5 U/S and labs yesterday And was told to start the cetrotide tonight. Not looking forward to that!
I am feeling extremely tired last 2 days. Usually I wake up when my husband moves at night, but last 2 night don't remember anything! Did anyone here got so tired? I am literally trying to keep my eyes open as i write this.
@matfi236 and @ed2018, i think you guys started to do the stims a day before me?

Re: Hi, newbie to IVF
I did my first round of IVF back in Dec. I had the same reaction I was Exhausted, headaches came and went, and the Cetrocide would leave me all red afterwards like for an hour. All those side effects seem pretty normal. I know some people get no sides effects. We got 29’eggs retrieved, 21 fertilized with ICSI, 12 made it to day 5 and we have 5 gorgeous PGS tested embryos waiting for us in March! It’s all worth it hang in there!! You’re so almost done if you added Cetrocide!
I just started on Friday (1/19), so I'm day four right now. I'm totally with you on the tiredness and headaches!
Has it gotten any better?
