|Mickey or Lisa,

|these shots contain the same hormones that stimulate egg production by
|your ovaries. Significant side effects include the risk of multiple
|gestation (twins or higher) and the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation, a
|poorly-understood, potentially life-threatening situation. That's why
|these medications should only be used in situations where you can be
|carefully monitored. Your RE will probably have a very detailed
|discussion with you before you begin your meds. Meanwhile, Organon, the
|company that makes Humegon, has some excellent patient information
|brochures that you can probably get sent to you from your RE's office so
|you can get more detailed information.
