This is an intramuscular injectable that my Infertility specialist has me on. The difficulty with this drug for me is that I have to have it once every day in the hip and my hips are very sore! Before my embryo implantation, it used to make my face feel greasy (it had been normal to dry before treatment). It made me gain some weight and I feel bloated, but I'm also taking delestrogen shots and wearing estrogen patches, so I don't which one is responsible for the weight gain and bloatiness. It's interesting that the second to last paragraph in the precaution section says not to use it if you're pregnant - that's exactly why I AM using it. I suppose it makes a difference if you're under IVF treatment.Read More Read Less
