IVF meds for egg retrieval side effects

Hello ladies,

I’m currently going through egg retrieval process and I feel very defeated today. I’m on my 7th day today and started cetrotide. It was very painful and it felt like the needle was in there half an hour later. The menopur is starting to be very painful as well. I have been eating well, drinking enough, doing my smoothies. But I can’t sleep anymore because my body is in pain all the time. Anybody else had the same problem? All my friends who went through it say it wasn’t painful at all.
Just wondering.
That’s my current dosage in the pic.

My advice would be to ice the spots before injecting. Also inject slowly. Especially the menopur.

Thank you Molly. Will try that out tomorrow.

You're welcome! Icing makes you hardly feel it and reduces the chance of bruising

Just went through this and it's tough. But you should just have a few more days. I took Amazon sleep (okay with my doctor). It helped immensely. You got this mama.

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been
