Anyone get sick while doing stims for IVF?

Question

Oh no ladies! I'm starting to get a cold!!! I have a sore throat headache. I am a little achey. Dr said I can take Tylenol but I'd prefer to take nothing. I hope I caught this early enough to shake it I am on day 6 of stims. No fever thank god. Just gonna try sleep and get fluids in me. Anyone else have this happen?!?!? Should I be worried?!?

Answer

No need to worry! It's just a pain being sick while on all the meds. I had the same thing - cough, super sore throat, stuffy AND runny nose (annoying!), and a terrible headache (which could have been a side effect of the stims, too). I chose to just deal with it and not even take the Tylenol. I may have taken it once or twice when it was REALLY bad, but I tried not to. I asked my doctor at one of my monitoring appointments, and he said it was totally fine. The only minor concern they had was if my cough was still really bad for the retrieval, they had some hesitations about putting me under. On the bright side, feeling like crap from the cold distracted me from feeling like crap from the stims. Feel better, and best of luck!
