Infertility

Endometrin, doxci, and medrol cocktail....

Is not agreeing with me at all! 3 days in and I've gained almost 4 pounds, my belly is all bloated and swollen, and I keep getting serious hot flashes that leave me head to toe bright red. It's very weird. 

Sorry for the complaining....just having an off day!

  • I feel the same way!! I'm sure there is enough estrogen in my body to make a man grow boobs!! Ever since my ER none of my clothes have fit and I officially have a gut!! I hate gaining weight before I'm supposed to!! All for good reason though!

  • Agreed! I can deal with the pain when I know what the outcome is! 

    When did you have your ER? Are you in any pain still? I had mine Tuesday and I'm starting to get nervous because I'm still in pain. The thing is, it's not crippling pain, just a lot of discomfort still when I'm walking and peeing. But I also don't want to waste time and money on an additional u/s if this is normal recovery stuff and not OHSS symptoms.

  • Eeshk!  Do you take all three at the same time or is it just because there's so much of it coursing through your veins? :0)

    I'm looking at the same drugs in my protocol, and I'm glad someone can give me a heads up as to what' on the road ahead!

    Hope you feel better soon!

  • Ugh, I hear you! My belly was so swollen after my ER that I literally looked pregnant!! I had pretty bad OHSS though, so hopefully you aren't feeling as bad as I was, I wouldn't wish that on anyone! GL and hope you feel better soon!
