When I picked them up today from the drug store, the pharmacist shared with me several side effects I "might" experience. I read the paperwork that was attached to the meds when I got home and saw even more possibilities. What should I expect? What have you experienced?
**I kind of like the fact that the pills have an "E5" on them since we adopted 5Es!
Personally, I had no side effects at all from them. Hopefully it will be the same for you! And how cute about the 5E, E5!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had any side effects from the Estrace. (The NEDC requires brand name so we've gotten to shell out lots of $$ for those little darlin's!) I had a couple of hot flashes last cycle when I was taking it along w/ the Lupron but I haven't had any so far this cycle! Don't read the pharmacy info!! =) (I work in a pharmacy- if you knew all the possible side effects of all the drugs, you'd never take anything!)
ReplyDeleteI actually asked my nurse if I could use the generic instead but she said Dr. Keenan preferred the brand for some reason. It should work exactly the same.
ReplyDeleteAcne like a teenager. Seriously. I needed to buy Oxy Pads.
ReplyDeleteFor me, Lupron=big fat sausage fingers and everything else.
Estrace= Pimples
Best of luck! It'll all be worth it!
Be sure that you don't have an empty stomach. I didn't eat dinner or breakfast once during my mock cycle in March and vomited the medicine. You don't necessarily need to eat something every time you take it - Just don't skip meals (especially 2 meals)! :)
ReplyDeleteShannon can I ask you about the cost of doing all of this? I have contacted you on b zone about this. I was wandering if you could give me a ballpark figure? How successful is this? Do you need a homestudy too? Thanks.Let me know if you feel comfortable posting all this info.I will return tom p.m.THanks.
ReplyDeleteI've had 3 FETs and never had any problems with Estrace.
ReplyDeleteHey... I remembered a side effect from the Estrace (now that I'm taking it 3 times a day) but to keep this family friendly I won't put it on here! =) I can email you about it if you want...
