Menopur is commonly used in IVF to help stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. While it’s generally safe, some women may experience side effects. Here’s what you might notice:

Common Side Effects:

• You might feel some bloating or mild discomfort in your lower abdomen because your ovaries are working harder than usual.
• The injection site can sometimes feel a bit sore, red, or swollen.
• Hormones can cause mood swings or headaches—pretty normal during an IVF cycle.

Less Common Side Effects:

• Some women feel tired, nauseous, or even notice slight digestive discomfort. These are less common but can happen.

Rare but Serious Side Effects:

• A rare condition called Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) can occur if your ovaries respond too strongly. This can cause severe bloating, pain and even weight gain. If you notice anything like this, it’s important to contact your doctor immediately.
• Allergic reactions like swelling, rash, or trouble breathing are very rare but serious, so don’t ignore them.

How Clinics Manage Side Effects:

The good news is, fertility clinics closely monitor you while using Menopur. Many now use advanced IVF software to track your response to the medication and adjust dosages as needed. This helps catch any issues early.

If you notice anything unusual or feel worried, let your doctor know right away. They’ll guide you and ensure you’re safe and comfortable throughout the process. Remember, every person’s experience is a little different, so it’s always good to stay in touch with your clinic.
