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...
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!
