Trouble TTC

Bladder Infection, hot flashes...

So its 3:45am and I can't sleep. I cant decide if the Femara I am taking is causing my hot flashes and lack of sleep or the feeling I'm getting a bladder infection. 

Anyone taking Femara? What are your side effects? Has anyone got a bladder infection from it? And if I have a bladder infection, will the prescription to take care of it effect my IUI this cycle? (I'm CD7)

I'll be calling my doctor in the morning, but until then... Thanks :) 

Re: Bladder Infection, hot flashes...

  • Sorry you can't sleep that really sucks.

    FWIW, my last re said that as follies grow bigger they can add pressure down there and make it feel like you have to go all the time. Unless you're getting burning/blood with your pee, then that's more likely an infection.

    I didn't get anything like that with the femara, but some people react differently. Symptoms of a bladder infection are the worst so sorry you're feeling miserable!

    Uh oh, I hope it's not a bladder infection. UTI's suck!! I had one a few months ago... on my birthday... it was pathetic. It happened right around O, but it wasn't a medicated cycle so I didn't ask my doctor if it made a difference. Obviously, I did not get KU that time around, but I don't think it was the UTI. Anyway, I hope you are feeling better!

  • Ugh! I hope it's not a uti!! I didn't have any symptoms with Femara besides irritability. A IRL friend took it and said it gave her horrible hot flashes.
