@IVFGotThis05 thank you for the tag!

My allergies have gone through the roof since yesterday eve. Been getting burning prickly itchy rashes which keep coming and going over arms, chest and tummy. Had a tickly throat towards afternoon today as well and stuffy nose. Not sure what’s going on. I’m day 4 today

@Bluehawaii29 have you done a covid test ?

Has anyone here had experience of using Menopur and Gonal f on different cycles

@Bluehawaii29 have you spoken to your clinic?

@Justawannabemam yeah covid test definitely negative, checked it this eve
@Gigi89x yeah I called them yesterday and emailed the consultant too who said since it’s mild and disappears on its own it doesn’t sound worrying and allergies not associated with any negative effect on cycle outcome. But it does sound like something has got my immune system in overdrive. I held my dog against my skin on right arm and straight after a rash came up so looks like I’m allergic to him too now

It looks like this when it comes up and then can go down within 10-15 mins with calamine lotion or E45 cream. Very itchy over my breasts as well. Been getting a lot of heat type rashes over them too but I don’t use any hot water bottle and avoided hot baths etc

@Bluehawaii29 - are you only on Lubion & cyclogest now? Did you change anything diet wise?

@Jennie154 do you mean those 2 used together?

@Gigi89x been on Lubion since Monday and apart from that plaster rash I got on Thursday didn’t have any eruptions like this during the week. The eruptions have been happening since yesterday eve, calmed down in the morning and then been on and off this afternoon onwards. Never had this with my fresh cycle and was on progesterone then too so is very strange

*since last Monday I mean

@Bluehawaii29 thats strange it didn't happen last time on your fresh cycle. I hope you feel better soon, sounds uncomfortable 😞

@Gigi89x thanks I think I’ll probably get an early night today, have been waking up quite early in the mornings due to needing toilet and doing pessaries so probably could do with more sleep

@Gigi89x being a GP I’m interested in rashes and I think I’ve found out what ive got:
dermnetnz.org/topics/autoimmune-progesterone-dermatitis

It’s called autoimmune progesterone dermatitis. It can be exacerbated by the gradually increasing progesterone levels, it could be that the level has shot in the last couple of days. I might need to ask for another blood test to see if I still need the Lubion

@Bluehawaii29 that does not sound fun at all. Your diagnosis does sound right though due to all the progesterone

@Bluehawaii29 that sounds like a good idea, it must be handy being a GP 😆

@Gigi89x haha it’s both a blessing and a curse! I’ve told consultant now my thoughts on it so going to see what she thinks. If it’s a choice between dropping the pessaries and Lubion I’d rather drop the pessaries but going to make sure decision is based on a blood test first

@Bluehawaii29 does your clinic allow you to email the consultant direct? Handy if thats the case without having to just liaise with the admin teams like i do!

@Gigi89x it’s just one consultant who has been there for me throughout, she actually did my egg collection on fresh cycle and transfer for this cycle just by coincidence and referred me quick when I needed my polyp surgery. I think she treats me more like a colleague so gave me her email which I’m so grateful for and try not to hassle her unless it’s urgent!

@Bluehawaii29 thats useful! & great to have the same consultant who knows your situation on both cycles
