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

[Darily]

Started sniffing morning and night last Tuesday, and I was completely expecting to be gagging on the stuff.

I had my highly concentrated glass of green cordial by my side, took a big sniff . . . and, well, not that bad really. YAY me

If everything in this first IVF cycle is as easy as this, bring on the ER!

glad you arent finding it too bad
good luck with this cycle.

I personally dont find it to be too bad, but not too great either! It gives me headaches and makes me feel a bit sick for a while...but then that passes and all is ok again

Hi,
I agree with you. I have been taking synarel for a week now and apart from a bit of a runny nose (which I attribute to a headcold) it is not as bad as I thought. The pharmacist and nurse advised me only to do a normal sniff not an overly big one so maybe that is why?
It looks as though we are going through things at the same time. I am on my first IVF cycle and am booked in for my scan on April 22nd, if all goes well will start injections after that, it seems to be taking forever just to get to the actual procedure!!
Wishing you luck!

for me to start off with it wasn't 'that' bad! however the longer i was on it the more it began to make my nose hurt! the fact that i always get a little stressie during cycles doesn't help.

I remember the first couple of cycles that i did i said to my DH, i dont know what people are talking about IVF is not that hard! after so many cycles i am now starting to see the emotional strains that it is putting on me, and probably was much earlier that i had wanted to see myself!

Everyone is different and i hop for you synarel is easy on you for the duration of your cycle. GL

Ugg. Syneral. It really affects me badly. I get headaches instantly and feel consistantly ill.

On my first cycle I wasnt doing deep enough sniffs and I was not suppressed enough so had to go onto 2 sniffs, 3x a day.

My FS said that if I cant taste it at the back of my throat after 5 minutes, I havent sniffed properly. I am being really careful to get it right this time and just had my ostrodiol a few days back. It came back fine at 52. Yaay! Feel as sick as a dog all day though

the sniffing and the taste didnt bother me, it was the side effects that got me, i was suffering terrible migrains with syneral and also was feeling so drained, i struggled to get out of bed in the morning to go to work and was in bed by 8 everynight totally exhausted.

i would take puregon and crinone any day, i hate syneral!!!!

best of luck with your cycle, fingers crossed
