is this normal?!?

i've done two doses of follistim and two of femara. and i feel nothing. is that normal? no side effects, no burning or pain when i do the shot, no twinges like my eggs might be maturing, no bloating, nothing. tonight i was actually paranoid that the medicine isn't coming out of the follistim pen and DH told me i was crazy is this how it normally goes? i'm so scared that tuesday will come and there will be nothing going on when dr. b does the sono.

sorry for such a ridiculous question...this is all so new to me and i'm a little nuts

I didn't feel anything at all while stimming for my IVF cycle!! Only at the VERY end, right before retrieval, did I feel a little something.

Re: is this normal?!?

I only do femara, but I rarely feel anything by my CD10 appointment. Sometimes I'll feel a slight twinge on one side towards CD8-10, but not always. The only time I DID feel anything was when I had a 40mm cyst- which obviously was not a good thing.

thanks girls i feel like i'm the most rational person, until it comes to this process, then i'm just crazy.

Re: is this normal?!?

you prob wont feel anything for a few days. the meds generally take a few days before you feel effects.

Re: is this normal?!?

never any side effects to any of the medication I have taken....with the exception of metformin....that threw me for a loop.
