Trouble TTC

For those of you who have taken Estrace/Estradiol

What kind of side effects did you have? At first it was hard to keep food down. No big deal I just started eating smaller meals and it seems to help a little. I have been taking Estradiol since last Thursday. Yesterday my dosage was upped from 1/2 a tablet am/pm to a whole tablet am/pm and I really started to feel side effects. I started having cramps and back pain. The best way to describe how I feel is that AF is on her way. Does anyone know if this is normal? It seems that both cramps and back pain are listed as side affects but I would not consider this mild. I did not sleep well last night because my back hurt so bad. Really at one point I had my a$$ in the air and my head on the pillow, it seemed to be the only thing the relived the back pain. lol

I hate to complain because I would walk thru a fiery heII if you promised a baby on the other side. I'm just wondering if this is normal.

    I would call and ask! That seems like something worth talking to your nurse about.  The only side effect I had was headaches.  Good luck with your cycle!

    I'm taking mine like a suppository, I'm just wondering if that's why I'm having cramps and back pain. I have not had a single headache yet (knock on wood) and normally if a headache is a side affect I get a few.

    I just talked to the nurse and she said it's common. She said I could take Tylenol and if it gets worse to call them back.

    I feel bad for DH I am so miserable, if he pisses me off tonight I might lose it on him. I was not this miserable when I stims for IVF.
