This first round has definitely not been as bad as I was anticipating. Symptoms ranged from mild nausea in the morning which was controlled by the medication. I had heartburn in a few occasions but nothing that gaviscon didn’t sort out
I started the dreaded injections on day 3 of the cycle - they are fine & not painful- I don’t like doing them though! I’m taking them in the evening and I also take an antihistamine before hand. The third injection provoked a bit of hip/ lower back pain which was a little intense but thankfully wore off and I was able to sleep.
I am hoping my future cycles are like this - if so I think it will actually be ok!
