Is it just me, or is Synarel not THAT bad?

Hi ladies,

Cadence - great news that your down reg scan went well. What clinic are you with and what dose of Puregon are you on? I'm at Melbourne IVF and I'll be starting on 150iu next Monday is the scan goes well. I'm still having no troubles with the Synarel, no headaches or anything. Hope I'm doing it all right!

Meo - Looks like you're well on your way. What dose are you on? Sounds like bloating can be a real problem. I've only ever been on 50iu of Puregon and had no side effects from that, but I'm sure 150iu is a different story. I guess it will be stretchy skirts for me while stimming if I get too bloated

Hi Darily,
Just did my first puregon injection (well first for this cycle). The dose is 200 and I am also with Melbourne IVF. Dr Kate Stern is my doctor. I am so hoping that when I go next wed they will say yep you are ready to have your epu in a coupld of days- wishful thinking but I get very down and miserable on the puregon so don't want to be on it for long.
Meo how are you going? Good luck for scan tomorrow keep us posted!

Hi Cadence,

I've heard Kate Stern is great. I'm with Fleur Cattrall, same rooms.

Just out of curiosity, have you had the discussion with Kate yet about how many embies you're putting back? I've been told 1 and only 1, no further discussion! And it will be a 2 day transfer, which I think if pretty common at MIVF.

I hope the 200iu does the trick for you quickly and you get to EPU before you know it

Hey Darily,
How funny, same rooms, it is a small world.
At our initial appointment we discussed the idea of putting 2 in with the nurse and she said to email Kate about it which I did. Kate's response was that she also recommends one but said she is willing to discuss the prospect of 2 with us at the next appointment. I think ours is a 2 day transfer also. Yeah I am hoping that 200 does the trick the less time I have to take puergon the better. In regards to the synarel I have been experiencing really bad leg cramps and muscle soreness in my back and legs- does anyone know if this is related to the synarel in anyway? Have also had a couple of headaches and a weird stitch like pain in my left side since yesterday, don't know if it is anything to be concerned about or not.

I didn't even think about emailing Fleur, that's a great idea.

What is Kate's email address (you can PM it to me). I'm sure Fleur's will be the same, just change of name?

That's wierd about the leg cramps. I haveb't heard about that as a side effect before.

Cadence, I had leg cramps when I was sniffing Synarel, along with horrible mood swings, the hot flushes and headaches and migraines.
I was sniffing twice a day for 3 months, and found it didn't agree with me all that well, but it was what I had to do.

Hi Cadence,

I'm new to this. just signed up today. Started my syneral treatments on Tuesday and have been very surprised not to be feeling too bad at all after all I'd been warned. Funny enough I signed on to see if there were other people who had mild effects to make sure it was working and when I read through and saw your post I thought wow that's exactly the effects I have noticed. I had pain down my left side abdomen today and have been having back and hip pains for the past few days. Nothing too bad but a bit uncomfortable. I don't know if it's the syneral - thankfullly no headaches just a little nausea on that. Today is normal period date so I dont know if that's related either. Wish you the best of luck,
