Anyone have an x-ray while on stims for ivf?

Long story short. I had pneumonia and the flu which started about a month ago. After a round of antibiotics and over a week off of work I was feeling much improved and decided to go ahead with stims for an ivf cycle. I took a zpack at the start of stims, and figured based on what my dr. said I'd be 100% by ER/ET.
Well of course I am now hearing odd sounds coming from my lungs, and still coughing a ton at night. Seriously have to prop myself up to fall asleep. And I still can't run/jog without gasping for air. And I am hoarse, and still super tired.
Of course I decided to consult dr. google last night and whipped myself into a frenzy about what could be going on. So I am heading to my primary doctor in the morning just to make sure I am getting better and not worse/something else. I am worried she's going to want to take a chest x-ray. I am inclined to ask her not to, but worried that she won't be able to diagnose me without it. Thoughts?
And sorry if I sound like I've lost my effing mind.

well, they have lead aprons/mats for your ovarian/lap area, so I would just make SURE they are super careful about covering you up as much as possible.
It's "record bad" season for allergies, I don't usually get hayfever'y stuff most years, but this year it's insane. Perhaps it's just aggrivating something not so serious?
I hope things get better and plans go off sans hitch !
Man, I hope it is just allergies. But I had a pretty "awesome" pneumonia infection in my left lung when she x-rayed me a month ago. So of course now I'm convinced I'm dying ;-) Whoa is me.
Pam, it totally could be whooping cough. But of course I'm really worried that it's pulmonary edema. I have high blood pressure, and had hellp and pre-e with my pregnancy, and my left kidney is not the greatest, so of course after a consult with dr. google i'm convinced that's what it is ;-) And I really can hear fluid in my lungs now when I inhale before I cough, actually, I can "feel" it sort of bubbling if that makes sense in the lower and middle parts of my lungs. And I've been feeling twinges from my left kidney on and off too. But I guess those twinges could be ovarian pain as well as anything else. I had what seemed like an allergic reaction, or another cold kick in last week a couple of days after starting stims. Ugh...I have been a pretty healthy person my entire life, of course I'd fill up with crude before an out of pocked ivf cycle....
