Hi Sonia,

I use gonal-f in my Jan cycle. Like you I got DH to do the injections. Couldn't bring myself to do it myself despite lots of reassurance from the lovely ladies here that it would be ok. I found it helped involved DH in the process and with all the poking and proding i really needed to feel like we were in this together.

In terms of side effects. I didn't have too many. I think I had that full, bloated and heavy feeling after about a week of injections. The odd twinge in the ovaries and a few headaches. Emotionally I was a little all over the place, but I am not sure how much that had to do with the medication and how much was just about the rollercoaster of IVF.

Hope that you get some nice follies growing.

Jane
