I'm feeling the estradiol side effects... not much fun

I don't like to complain but I am not feeling very well and perhaps this might help... I have started estradiol last week, on a low dose, in preparation for FET, and in addition to having nausea and headache this morning I am also now feeling dizzy and lightheaded. This happened last time as well, various months ago... and the day after I started to bleed and we had to discontinue.

Hard to stay calm and optimistic now... it's upsetting.

Anyone else out there who had the same symptoms...? It's a bit like being on drugs (so I am told ), I feel lightheaded and almost like flying when I walk, hard to concentrate as I am working... Perhaps you had these symptoms for a few days but then they disappeared? Particularly I'm worried as today I added estradiol pills to the patches to help my lazy lining, so the symptoms might get even worse. Help (sigh). Not fun really... how to know when or if one should stop?

Thanks much and best wishes to all xxx

I felt awful on the oestrodial (sorry can’t spell!) pills but I felt better within 24 hours of starting the progesterone pessaries, it was like they balanced it out xx

I hope you feel better soon . Xx
