5 | Pcos/infertility | Hot flashes, irritability | Worked well! Healthy baby girl | F | 24 | 8 days 300-150 | 10/22/2015 | 3 | increase more eggs | Severe mood swings - went from crying to wanting to punch someone in a matter of minutes. | The needle did not hurt one bit - I was shocked how painless it was, considering I hate needles & get my blood drawn all the time which always hurts. This was a breeze. Mood swings were a killer though, I've never experienced anything like that before. | F | 37 | 7 days 75 mg 1X day | 3/7/2011 | 5 | increase follicle #, TTC | Bloating, slight tenderness at injection sites | Worked better than Clomid (more follicles matured - 3, and no thinning of the uterine lining). Used prior to IUI. | F | 39 | 5 days 150 IU 1X day | 7/5/2010 | 3 | undefined infertility | Hot flashes and period like cramping...definitely no bloating and headaches with Clomid | Definitely recommend this medication. Extremely easy to administer. | F | 38 | 4 days 75 units 1X day | 5/1/2010 | 4 | IVF stimulation | Bloating and soreness at injection site(lower abdomen) | This drug was used in my ivf protocol in conjunction with low dose hcg. Of all the IVF meds, this is by far the easiest to use/inject. The needles are so fine you barley feel them. A real pleasure compared to any and all other ivf drugs I have used! Sick and sad, but true! My ovaries did not respond well at first to this drug. However I strongly feel this had more to do with the fact that I had been over suppressed with lupron. My doc had to increase my dose from. 300 to 450 after a couple days of stimming. I would reccommend this drug for it's ease of use and also for the fact that it is portable (does not have to be refrigerated once a vial is punctured). | F | 30 | 2 weeks 300-450 1X day | 2/9/2010 | 5 | infertility | Hot flashes, irritability. | A great drug! We have a healthy baby boy. | F | 35 | 14 days | 10/4/2008 | 5 | Anovulation infertility | Mild Crabbiness,hot flashes, headache | I tolerated this medication way better than Clomid. I was way happier using this instead of clomid. The shots with the AQ pen are a breeze. Do not panic about the shots....very easy. | F | 40 | 7 days | 9/3/2007 | 5 | Infertility/PCOS | I did have mild OHSS with this medication, but I got pregnant in just one month of taking straight Follistim/IUI. Not only that, but I am pregnant with twins. After 2 1/2 years of trying to conceive, this medicine was finally what worked. | F | 29 | 1 months | 5/28/2007 | 5 | infertility | none | A great drug with very little side effects. | F | 39 | 8 months | 9/25/2006 |
