I had am currently just over 20w pregnant from a combined Clomid/Follistim cycle that also included an Ovidrel trigger. My RE never mentioned anything about improved egg quality with injectibles, but I haven't heard anything otherwise either. I know when we're ready to try for #2 I'll definitely be starting with Follistim. The only side effect I remember was increased moodiness, specifically crying at insignificant things. I can't be 100% sure it was the injections since I had taken the Clomid too. The injections themself were nothing. I was so nervous at first but I pretty much didn't feel a thing. The Follistim needles are so incredibly tiny.. 29 guage if you know anything needle size. The Ovidrel is slightly larger.. I think maybe 25-27 guage and I felt that one more, but it still didn't hurt. Good luck to you!
