Hello all! My hubby and I are in our last TWW. We can't afford to do anymore treatments, so this wait is killing me. I have really sore boobs, crampng for several days on and off. Pulling and achiness in the groin area, back aches all over but especially in lower back. The most extreme symptom is the boobs. Never had soreness from regular cycles. This is nuts! Bras are not my friend! So, I have read that progesterone and follistim can cause these symptoms, but I was on progesterone last month and had no symptoms at all except feeling a bit tired. Also, I read that Follistim symptoms usually peek at 7 days after last injection and I am now 10 days after and the symptoms are getting worse. I was convincing myself that it is just the meds, but they should be subsiding. Really trying not to get my hopes up, but all these symptoms are driving me crazy. It was much easier when I had none. Any thoughts or similar experiences.
Here's the run down.
