Side-Effects

So I've been having trouble with Menopur side effects the past couple of days, so I'm going to write a re-cap tonight of all the side effects of the drugs I've had this cycle.

Menopur

• Cold symptoms - runny, stuffy nose; sneezing; sinus headache.
• Insomnia (struggling to get to sleep).
• 'Off' food; not feeling hungry as normal.
• Hot flushes.
• Emotional! More tears than normal!

Norethisterone

• Hot flushes.
• Tender, enlarged boobs.
• Bloating.
• Insomnia (waking up at night).
• Bleed arrived 3 days after last pill, was more crampy than normal and started at midday instead of early morning. Normally heavy, fresh blood. Lasted 3 days.

Microgynon

• Tender, enlarged boobs.
• Bloating.
• Spotting/bleeding throughout.
• Emotional/grumpy!
• Bleed arrived 3 days after last pill. Lasted 3 days, fresh blood, and very heavy.

Provera

• Depression/anxiety (after the packet finished). Even felt suicidal night before period!
• Bleed arrived 4 days after last pill, mainly old blood. Heavy for one day, then very light flow that didn't finish and morphed into spotting on Microgynon.

I am not a fan of the side effects, but Provera, Microgynon, and Norethisterone have all worked so well to bring on a bleed in my unhelpful body that I'd put up with them again!
