I am on day 3 of a 14 day cycle of lupron for an ivf cycle. so far I've noticed a bit more hair loss, and it burns a little with mild itchiness that goes away. I'm glad it's sub-q and not IM...it's not intolerable but wish there was a patch for it!

Currently on my second week of taking the drug as part of an IVF cycle. Up to now, the only side effects I have experienced are night sweats and a few moderate headaches but nothing more than that.

I took my second Lupron shot today and the only side effects I have had to deal with thus far are the headaches and the burning when injecting. Other than that, the nightmare side effects I read about when I was first told of this option have not happened, but even if they had, if it makes it where my hubby and I can get preggers.. It's would be worth it. TTC for 2 years

This is part of my protocol for an IVF cycle for frozen embryo transfer. Directly before using this I have been on a estrogen based birth control, which is standard practice. Starting on 10 units of Lupron and possibly reducing to 5 units in a week and a half I have noticed some cramping feelings. I have been told that this is to assist to increase my endometrial lining for the transfer. I also feel not that I have gained weight, but there has been swelling in my stomach area, more of a symptom than a reaction to the shots. All injections are given in alternating sides of my lower stomach inches away from my belly button. Approximate duration for shots is about 3 weeks.Read More Read Less

I have experienced a lot of tiredness, mild night sweats, a couple days of depression here and there, a headache lasting a couple days, an upset stomach in the evenings, weight gain and acne. No symptoms that were major and nothing that made me want to stop taking the mediciation. It is part of my IVF cycle/treatment and I will only need to be on this medication for about 3-4 weeks.

This medication is being used to reduce my hormone level as a way to control my migraine headaches. I have had them everyday for seven years. I have tried everything; AMA modalities and otherwise. This is medication has worked wonderfully for me when combined, during the forth month, with 10 mg. of calcium channel blocker. I have had two months with out a headache. It is incredible to be alive again.
