Holy shit! Started my estrace 2x a day and it makes me wish I was still doing injections. This shit makes me 1)cry, 2)become irrational, 3) feel rage towards my DH for being a bit insensitive 4) feel pregnant because of nausea 5) lets just say I haven't had this much CM in a while sorry tmi. This cute little tiny blue pill is hands down he worse thing I've been on yet. To me this puts the icing on the cake for the IVF Rollercoaster. Disclaimer: totally worth it for my little growing embie, I just had to vent somewhere

Just curious, are you guys taking them vaginally or orally? I took them vaginally, and I didn't really have side effects that I can think of, other than what I liked to call "the blue lagoon". Having blue CM is just beyond weird.
ETA: I'm doing Del Estrogen this time around. Yay for self-administered IM shots in the butt!
Me 34 w/ .44 AMH, DH 42 w/ low motility after reversed vasectomy 3 failed IUIs in 2012, Military deployment all of 2013, 3 failed IUIs in 2014 ER September 2014, froze 7 embryos FET #1 11/19/2014- BFN FET #2 2/9/2015- CP ER w/ 3dt July 2015- Retrieved 4 embryos, BFN IVF #3 in May 2017!!
I'm taking mine orally. Yea so last night hubby said something about well you're 42 you kind of have to go through IVF. Ummm DH have you forgotten that your sperm may also be an issue. This conversation did not end well. I know it's probably 90% me but we have had unprotected sex for the better part of the last five years and Ive never been prego so..... It's not like I want to blame him at all but I feel like he should at least recognize there may be a fertilization issue due to his low morph and not just make me feel old and broken. Ok vending again. There you have it, that's what made me go curl up into a ball last night and feel like a crazy emo person.

vballbaby I'm gonna say right now, that if you didn't use BC for five years and nothing happened, there is a serious chance that it is part him. Just saying. Sorry you had a hard night. I'm pulling for your one!
Oh yeah, that comment would have garnered *at best* a dirty look from me. Add in the pills, and no wonder you were so upset. Sorry for the roller coaster you seem to strapped into!
tumbleweed right?! The Dr. really downplayed it during out appointment - probably a freaking man code thing who knows. We were told to do ICSI from the start and there's a reason for that. Ann612 thank you, I'm actually feeling fine today, guess it was just a huge wave I was riding last night. I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope you're hanging in there and taking care of yourself. ((hugs)) lilyharper LOL! It's really the most horrible sort of argument to have. Me: "less than 1% of your sperm is normal and your volume is 75% less than normal so it's your fault" Him: "well you have DOR and you're old so it's probably you're fault, low morp is nothing considering how high my count and motility is" Our argument didn't go down like that at all but that's probably a good analogy of what was going on in our heads at the time haha. We are over it now....infertility sucks a big one.
vballbaby I know we're both older in the TTC world, and I don't know about you but I always ovulate on my own. The only reason my age and ovarian reserve is an issue is because we find ourselves at this IVF juncture which probably has something to do with my endo but is more likely MH's MFI issues. Anyhow, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry the estrace is kicking in in a bad way!! I hope it passes soon!
Married 10 years. DX: AMA, DOR, endo, one tube, +NK, homozygous MTHFR C677T, and abnormal endometrial function test. MFI with high DNA fragmentation and pericentric inversion on chromosome 9.

My first RE changed me from the oral estrace to the injectable delestrogen because of the nausea. Delestrogen was much better side effect wise on me than the estrace.
I feel ya lady. My husband calls estrace my 'emotionally unstable raccoon pills'. I'm happy and all over him one minute, then crying the next with it. Also, seriously bad nausea and breast pain. Definitely worse than injections!
