Post IVF question- coming off the medication

I stopped taking my medication a week ago now but over the last few days my skin has been soooo itchy! When I itch (even through my clothes I get a really bad reaction, I’ll put the photo in comments) could it be connected to coming off the drugs? I’ve never had it before or if it’s just a coincidence

I think it’s related to large fluctuations in hormones, but definitely don’t quote me on that. I get it too, really bad, either a week or so into taking the drugs, or vice versa. I’ve seen a number of other women comment on it on here recently, also.

Hopefully it calms down soon.

My BFP announced itself a few days ago with major itching but didn't have much rash or redness.

It went away for some days but can feel it as I write. Could be hormone related . I do t like it.

I've been doing back-to-back FETs over the last few months and I've been getting progressively itchier. Good to know if could just be from this.
