Your doctor will monitor your progress in two ways:

1. By measuring your blood levels of estrogen. As the follicles grow and respond to Follistim® AQ Cartridge, they release estrogen. A rise in your serum estrogen levels indicates that the follicles are developing. 2. By performing ultrasound scanning or ultrasonography. Ultrasound scanning allows your doctor to see the developing follicles and assess their stage of maturation. These monitoring techniques decrease the chance of complications and multiple births.

The following side effects have been reported in clinical studies with Follistim® AQ Cartridge: abdominal pain, flatulence, nausea, breast pain, injection site reaction, enlarged abdomen, back pain, constipation, headache, ovarian pain, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), sinusitis, and upper respiratory tract infection.
