Vivelle and Ganirelix

Hey Ladies, I was wondering is anyone starting or have started Vivelle and or Ganirelex with their IVF Cycle? I start Vivelle tomorrow and Ganirelix on the 3rd of this month. Does it have any side affects. Thx Ladies

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that you could probably expect to experience the "usual" side effects--such as breast tenderness, water retention and head ache.
Weight gain has to be included on any list too!
Here is one of many sites with more specific information on side effects:

Good luck!

Everyone reacts differently to medication.  However, I used Ganirelix and it gave me headaches.  Pretty bad ones.  But it was soooo worth it!  GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR HUBBY!
