Avatar f tn I think up to 12 weeks. Keep in mind that they have to disclose possible side effects. All these fertility drugs have crazy side effects......why is it that this is the only one noticed.??
Avatar f tn The side effects of Incurin (estradiol) are similar to the effects of any other reproductive hormone therapy and include: hair loss, swollen vulva, swollen mammary glands, and vomiting. The most serious effect from high doses is that estrogen (the active ingredient in Incurin) may have a tumour-promoting effect in target organs with estrogen receptors, such as the mammary gland. The most dangerous effect of PPA (phenylpropanolamine) is hypertension.

1235159 tn?1323009319 0 I'm 40, turning 41 April 24th...... Yikes. I started femara for the first time today which is cd3 for me. I am taking 7.5 mg for five days. I'm interested in how much you are on and what cd you are taking it on? Fingers crossed for both of us!!
Avatar f tn So I would work with your doc both on form and dose to use the least amount and the most most bio-identical you can to reduce risk and side effects.
Avatar f tn Personally, I would find a homeopathic doc and get on some natural herbal supplements. You will be amazed at how much better you feel without all the side effects!
Avatar m tn Estradiol is one form of estrogen and is (or at least used to be) considered HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) although some refer to it as ET (estrogen therapy). There is estrogen-only HRT and combined (estrogen plus progestin or progesterone) HRT. Women who have a uterus who take HRT must take progestin or progesterone if they take estrogen in order to protect their uterine lining from the proliferative effects of estrogen.

My side effects are as follows severe tinnitus, phelgm in my lungs and coughing, high blood pressure, weight gain, high cholesterol, positive ANA test boderline lupus numbers, high hscrp test, pains behind my eyes, breathing pain issues, low grade fever, forehead pain, stuffy nose like allergies...all of this has been since I started hrt which was right after my surgery.
1439094 tn?1320322110 I know several other people that have PCOS and they too did not respond to clomid and a couple of them recently got preg on Femera. The success stories for women with PCOS are greater on Femera than Clomid plus the side effects on Clomid are killer and I really didn't have any side effects on Femera! Good luck to you!!
Avatar m tn Did you rule out all other causes pituatary, testes, and hypothalamus. Does hormonal replacement effect fertility or have bad side effects?
Avatar m tn There is very limited data on that and the only study that supports it has some issues scientifically. These medications can cause sexual side effects for some, not all. Most doctors will tell you that it is an outlier that has this issue and it's not the norm. treating mental health is important.
Avatar f tn Hi there. Yes your thyroid and menopause have a massive effect on each other. I am going through exactly the same thing. I was told that HRT can have a settling effect on the thyroid during this transition, unfortunately I personally cannot take it due to it's side effects. So, your thyroid medication needs can change whilst on HRT.
Avatar m tn Everything from risk of infections, pneumonia,and heart disease as well as increased risk of stomach cancer. I am not allowed to refer you to my blog but I know that Dr.Mercola did a great blog with references on his website so you can read more THERE. What to take instead? What I give everyone including my dad! Good pharma grade digestive enzymes and betaine. Works much better and is totally safe.
486867 tn?1307139011 Ask about Nolvadex it is stronger and might not have the same side effects. What was his testosterone level? Were you guys able to get pregnant ever? My level was 379 and I am worried. I saw an endocrinologist and am awaiting a more complete retest of my hormones. I actually got my wife pregnant last year but she miscarried. I don't mean to be nosy, but I might be in a similar situation soon.
Avatar f tn Post surgical ovarian failure, whilst uncommon, is a real risk with these surgeries and I was never advised of this risk before my op so I am very upset. I now have to take birth control, and all because of a benign cyst. I get migraines from the pill and I shouldn't be taking it either. I wish I had just left the cyst there. But given your history, I guess they do have to extra careful. Good luck, and I hope things get better for you.
Avatar n tn Much worse then pms. Could this be a side effect of the estradiol, or could it be pregnancy effects. I go for a pregnancy test on 2/25. When I called and asked my dr. about these side effects I was told it is just a reaction to all the hormones inside my body, and that my progesterone level was excellent# to hold a pregnancy. Was told to take tylenol, but it does nothing. Has anyone else taken estradiol after in iui and experiences these reactions?
216278 tn?1308861082 I got off on that estradiol patch. cold turkey no effects Cause me& my husband trying to have a baby it's says that can birth effect I don't want that.
503702 tn?1276176714 I tried Femara for 3 months and couldn't handle the side effects. So stiff I couldn't get up out of a chair without help, etc. I switched to Aromasin, the newest of the aromatase inhibitors. Still bad side effects. My chiropractor suggested having my estrogen blood levels tested, and trying an experiment. Take Aromasin every other day for a few months, and see if it lowers my blood estrogen level enough. My blood estrogen level (estradiol) is now a *negative* 20!
Avatar f tn I only took them for three days and then stopped because of such side effects as total loss of appetite, insomnia and pulling pain the shoulder. It felt like my arm had gone numb. This month I decided to try again and chose Qlaira (estradiol valerate/dienogest combination). As of now it doesn't seem to me that I have any other noticeable side effects except for this pulling pain in my left shoulder.
Avatar f tn Hi! If you were my patient, I would encourage you to consider an IUD for birth control. The Mirena can be a very convenient and effective method. If you want a regular cycle though, oral contraceptives are probably your best bet. You probably need to give then a fair try (two to three MONTHS) if you are going to use them. There will be some type of side effect with each method, so, you will have to consider which is going to be most tolerable for you. Good luck!
