Hey. I have and currently am! Firstly I don’t seem to be able to stop crying (which is not usually me) and secondly I feel like I have flu since starting them almost two weeks ago. Compared with the fresh ivf drugs and the Estrogen pills, the patches have made me feel by far worse than anything else. I had otherwise been feeling mostly fine with ivf drugs but now the tears have taken over!!

I don’t think this is always the case though, I did a lot of googling and some/most people seem to be fine with the patches. I’m not sure whether it means I’m absorbing more or less drugs than with pills but for me it’s not been that fun.

Have you had anything? Fingers crossed they are not too bad for you. I struggled to find anyone else who had been affected like so it may just be me! I also may genuinely just have the flu!
