Hi, ladies. I did my first injectable Follistem last night and was wondering about typical side effects, stories, etc. This thread is for the super strong women out there willing to do whatever it takes, including injecting themselves with hormones, to become a mama :) Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    Sorry I have no experience with Follistem. I have only done Ovidrel at this point which is one injection per cycle.
    Just wanted to say best of luck!

    Waiting for CD1 to roll around so we can start our first month trying. I have no advice or wisdom for you, but just wanted to say please feel free to post anything here, we are good for support even if we havent gone through the same things you have.

    @StephAStephan Are you on Reddit? There is a sub called Trying For A Baby...lots of people there who have been trying for longer and have done IUI, meds, IVF. You might find better support for this particular topic there :)

    I hope you get your BFP soon!
