Side Effects...

When you're being dosed up with so many medications it can't be hard to work out what's a side effect and what may be a sign of something else.

I've been getting really itchy eyes for the last couple of days and felt really tired.  I just put it down to the medication not agreeing with me.  I'm really sensitive with my eyes anyway - it only takes a bit of dust and they can puff up and itch like mad.  I've also had an upset stomach which I again put down to the combination of medications.

Then on Saturday ALS woke me up looking like something out of a horror movie.  His eyes were all red, swollen and itchy.  Turns out his stomach was also off and he'd been feeling really drained for a few days.

So I guess this is some kind of virus.  Who knows?  I've checked with my nurse in Sheffield and I'm fine to take antihistamines, although I can't have them after embryo transfer.  Hopefully by then whatever it is will have gone away!

I started the oestrogen 4 days ago as well.  I'm very emotional at the moment but that could just be down to being tired from my body trying to fight off whatever is wrong with me.  At the moment it's all just guesswork but I'm doing everything I can to rest up and get my body healthy before transfer - I still have a couple of weeks to go!

Wish me luck :)
