lower back pain

I am on CD9 for follistim and am now having crazy lower back pain.
I think it might be from my follies running out of room in there.
If this is normal I can deal, but I am wondering if I should be concerned.

So glad I have you ladies to ask!

During my IVF cycle I had lower back pain too. I was expecting the usual cramps at the front of my pelvic area. I lost quiet a bit of sleep because it hurt to sleep on my back but I was scared to sleep on my side or stomach because I thought I would squish my ovaries doing so. lol I don't remember if it's because the ovaries are enlarged and heavy or what, but I believe it's a common IVF issue unless it's really painful. FX you'll start feeling better soon after ER.

Thanks ladies, I talked to my RE office they scheduled me for a ER on Wed at 9am. She said as long as it is not severe it should be ok, so I will just deal with it until then.
