The only side effect I had was the burning when injecting at the injection site.....but I also took Bravele with the Menapur. One or the other burned.

I did not have any side effects from it. By the completion of my injections I was ready for it to be over because I was tired of the shots, but I would not call that a side effect !

I started with 150 (2 vials), and then was dropped to 75. I didn't have any side affects that I noticed..... but was on so many things at the same time who really knows? Anyway, I didn't have huge mood swings or anything crazy from any of my stims. Just the Lupron! Horrible hot flashes!

Honestly, Clomid was WAY worse than anything I was on for my IVF cycle.

Same as the others, no real side effects. A few times in the beginning, it burned a little bit going in but nothing major. I was kind of a baby though because once I got used to giving myself the shots, I didn't feel a thing.

Good luck to you!

Thanks for the information and Lisa_Kev, congrats on your baby girl twins.
I had a little burn upon injection if the length of the needle wasn't bad enough but I had some pms type symptoms. The second day was better.
