Hello everyone! This is my first post. I have had one failed fresh transfer and am now gearing up (or trying to!) for my first frozen attempt.
I was started on 3x 2mg Elleste Solo estrogen pills a day (or The Red Devil as I called it). Over 5 days of taking it I had migraines, headaches, constant nausea to the point of struggling to eat, tiredness and low mood (lots of crying and ranting!).
The decision was made by my clinic to pull me off this medicated cycle and wait to try again with a natural or modified natural approach. I am lucky to have regular periods so hopefully my body will be happier with this and we will eventually be successful this way.
My appointment with my consultant is not for a few weeks, a few days before my period would usually be due. The nurse said it is hard to say what the 5 days of estrogen will do to my cycle - that I might still ovulate or might not and that my period may come on time or may not. So I feel there is now even more uncertainty in the mixer. This is frustrating as like I said my periods have always been regular.
Does anyone else have experience of taking just 5 days (though it felt like a lifetime!) of estrogen-only meds before coming off them? Or what do you expect might happen to my cycle now? I just want to start again rather than be stuck in this endless waiting quagmire!
Thanks and lovely to meet you all!
