Femara, Injectables (Bravelle), Trigger and Prometrium...Some Questions!

May 12, 2008

Hi Girls! Had my appt with the RE last Tuesday since we weren't preggo again this month. My surgery was April 07, and it was our tenth month of ttc. I do ovulate on my own, did three rounds of clomid. We are afraid it is a tube function issue. However, RE said he feels good there is still a chance that we can get preggo, so I started Femara lat Wednesday, started Bravelle injections on Saturday, go for u/s and b/w on Friday and if all is well, will get my trigger shot. Then I will start prometrium. He is hoping we will have several "targets" and our chances will increase! So we are praying like crazy for tube function!

I am wondering what to expect in the way of side effects?? I have been very tired this morning, and gassy. def feeling some ovary "pressure" or something. I am thinking how I feel will probably get worse...I know the prometrium will make my progesterone symptoms much worse right?

Any input would be great!

Thanks!

i just felt normal until the last few days of the shots so its not all that diff then a regular cycle. The prog does intensify your preg symptoms tho thats for sure. Your boobs will be more sore and you will be emotional and bloated.

Lotsa luck to you and DH!!!!

Thanks Chels. I am having a bit of pain on my left side today and just tired. I have been a bit nauseous off and on too... hoping it doesn't get too bad so I can stay on the meds. How about the trigger shot? Since it is hcg does it make you feel sick or preggo?

makes me feel preggo! For about 5 or 6 days you feel preggo for sure! I felt that heavy feeling in my tummy and sleepy and just not "right".

Hope you feel better, i didnt have those with my injections - i was on follistim tho.
