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?
-
I've never taken it, so I'm not sure! I know progesterone has a side effect of making you tired.
Are you feeling blue? I think something like estrace could cause depression.
-
I've only taken it along with progesterone and don't remember!
-
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.
I'm a firm believer that drugs can have different effects on different people. So maybe it is making you tired!
Good luck, btw. I'm rooting for you

@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.
@SweetiePie: thanks!
-
@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.
-
@SweetiePie: great, something to look forward to.
-
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.
-
I also only took it with the progesterone, and thought that was what was making me so sleepy. Good luck!
-
I feel like I had the worst side effects from estrace out of ALL the meds I took with IVF. Really bad headaches and overall feeling like crap.
-
@swedishfish: how are you feeling today? Hope you're feeling better!
-
@Happygal: I'm bloated but alright. I up my dosage tomorrow. Thanks for asking!
-
I'm supposed to start taking estrace in January. I responded pretty well for my meds for my retrieval. I'll need to be aware that I might have side effects.
