Dr. Jacobs,
I'm on day 9 of 150 IU Follistim and 5 IU Lupron injections, getting ready for ICSI next week. I'm on a standard protocol.
Yesterday, I noticed some pain in the area where my thyroid is located and some slight swelling. Today, the pain is still there (hurts when I move my neck up or down) and I can feel a slight lump. Could this be related to IVF meds?
Thanks

I have not seen any reports of the medications we use for IVF causing thyroid pain. I suggest you see an ear nose and throat specialist, or a medicine endocrinolgist. You may be developing a thyroiditis, unrelated to your IVF. Good luck.
