Cramping with Ganirelix?

Got a call from the nurse today that my lead follie (I have 2 measurable ones ATM) is attempting to ovulate and my LH is climbing. I had to start Ganirelix today, and I took it about 3 hours ago. I am having alot of cramping in the side with the lead follie, and alot of back pain in that side too, which wasn't there this morning? It's too early to trigger yet, as my follie is only 16mm and my lining isn't thick enough. Is this the Ganerelix trying to stop me from ovulating?

Early loss in 08/11
MFI Dx in 03/12 Low count, low motility, poor morphology and high levels of anti-sperm antibodies

New SA shows 33 million sperm! Thank you Clomid!!!

I had discomfort after taking Ganirelix too. It wasn't too bad, but I could tell the difference between how I felt after taking it compared to the other injectables. I hope the cramping gets better soon!

OK, that makes me feel a little better! With the Gonal-F, it's more of a sharp pain (almost like ovulation cramps?) and this is more of a AF-type feeling. I'm just paranoid that I'm going to ovulate or something!

Thanks!

I didn't but if I did it was probably masked by the pain of the injection.  That is the worst, dullest needle ever!  I hope you get to feeling better :)

I had more burning than cramping w my ganerelix. i agree about the needle. I ended up using spare syringes/ needes i had from the menopur cause they were sharper.

Come to think of it, I did have some cramping and back pain.  And I had little red bumps every time I took that shot.  Ugh.  

 

Hope you trigger soon so you can stop taking it.
