So, we are heading back to the states from Paris (writing this from CDG airport!) and I am thinking we will have to wait until November's cycle now to start IVF now. I had to stop taking the birth control pills because they were making me so nauseated, so of course I started while on vacation. That was fun. So, I will have to wait & talk to my RE to see what the plan is now. I feel stupid for stopping them, but I had to pick between feeling sick on vacation or AF joining us. Has anybody else had this problem with the birth control pills causing nausea?
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
Re: Had to stop BC pills while in France!
I haven't personally had an issue with nausea while on BCPs, but I have definitely heard of other people having that problem.
I'm so jealous of you going to France!! Was it amazing??
Me = lean PCOS;DH = poor morphology (3%)
3 IUI/TI cycles = BFN
IVF #1 with ICSI: antagonist protocol = BFFN
IVF #2 with ICSI : Lupron downregulation = BFFN...FML
IVF #3 with ICSI and AH (Antagonist) = IT'S A BOY!!!!
It is so crazy that you made this post!! Small world. I'm currently trying to decide whether or not to take BCPs while DH and I are in France in November/December. If I don't, I might not make the deadline for a Dec/Jan IVF cycle. (It will all depend on the length of my cycles -- if I get all 28 day cycles, I'll make it, but if they're longer, I won't.)
But if I take BCPs while vacationing, I know I will be experiencing the same nausea you did.
FWIW, BCPs always made me nauseous. It took me a looong time to find one that didn't (and didn't cause breakthrough bleeding), and even then, if I missed a pill (and had to take 2), I would puke my poor little guts out.
Anyway, it's totally normal, but sorry you had to experience it!
Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.
