Stimming side effects

Just curious what side effects you have/had during stimming. I am on day 6 of stims and my lower back has been very achy the last couple days - to the point that it is even uncomfortable to sleep. Has anyone else experienced this?

I should mention - the injectionsa re going into my stomach, so it's not just injection site pain.

I was just really really bloated, where I had issues sleeping as well. I'm not sure about the back pain, I would ask your RE about that.

I was really tired, nauseas, and thought my boobs were gonna fall off. The latter 2 were from the progesterone and a extra oral progesterone he had me on. I got bloated but not real bad till after ER. Hope your back feels better soon.

Stims just made me dumb. I didn't have any pain until about day 7, but my ovaries were huge. Also, I only injected Menopur in my tummy. Follistim and Cetrotide was always injected in my thighs. I prefer thigh injections.
