I responded pretty well for my meds for my retrieval. I'll need to be aware that I might have side effects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-else-taken-estrace#post-1628678 Mon, 12 May 2014 10:45:46 +0000 swedishfish 1628678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I'm bloated but alright. I up my dosage tomorrow. Thanks for asking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-else-taken-estrace#post-1628040 Mon, 12 May 2014 07:09:36 +0000 Happygal 1628040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: how are you feeling today?

Really bad headaches and overall feeling like crap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-else-taken-estrace#post-1625466 Fri, 09 May 2014 18:27:03 +0000 momazon 1625466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also only took it with the progesterone, and thought that was what was making me so sleepy. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-else-taken-estrace#post-1625383 Fri, 09 May 2014 17:19:23 +0000 thisisme 1625383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was completely exhausted on it, but I was also taking progesterone at the same time, so I'm not sure which it was. I took them during my 1st tri, so it could have been regular pregnancy exhaustion, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-else-taken-estrace#post-1622503 Thu, 08 May 2014 19:27:30 +0000 swedishfish 1622503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: great, something to look forward to. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-else-taken-estrace#post-1622454 Thu, 08 May 2014 19:16:18 +0000 SweetiePie 1622454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: FYI upping my dose is when I became super moody! I was fine for the first week or whatever it was and after a monitoring appt they upped it. Then I lost my marbles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-else-taken-estrace#post-1622382 Thu, 08 May 2014 19:01:57 +0000 swedishfish 1622382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I don't think I'm feeling blue but I'm upping my dose next week. I'll have to stay aware of how I feel then.</p> <p>@SweetiePie: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-else-taken-estrace#post-1622360 Thu, 08 May 2014 18:56:11 +0000 SweetiePie 1622360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember feeling tired but I remember being craaaaazy pants the first few days on estrace. Like my husband was really afraid of me. But I don't know if it was the estrace for sure or the stress of IVF sort of crashing down.<br /> I'm a firm believer that drugs can have different effects on different people. So maybe it is making you tired!<br /> Good luck, btw. I'm rooting for you :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-else-taken-estrace#post-1622118 Thu, 08 May 2014 17:29:38 +0000 spaniellove 1622118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only taken it along with progesterone and don't remember! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-else-taken-estrace#post-1622095 Thu, 08 May 2014 17:12:15 +0000 Happygal 1622095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never taken it, so I'm not sure! I know progesterone has a side effect of making you tired. </p> <p>Are you feeling blue? I think something like estrace could cause depression. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-else-taken-estrace#post-1622047 Thu, 08 May 2014 16:39:03 +0000 swedishfish 1622047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if I'm exhausted because of the dreary weather or the Estrace. Have you heard of exhaustion as a side effect? </p>
