Anyone use estraderm patches?
I started taking them on Monday and starting when I woke up this morning and on and off all day I have a yucky headache. Anyone get any side effects from them?
ETA: And I am having some bad cramping - in the down there region. I am nervous b/c I am 10 days post retrieval and my AF cramps usually start 10 days post ovulation.

I use them before and I am using them right now. Never gave me a problem. IF you feel worse give a call to your nurse or RE. No need to worry if they can let you know it is normal or not.

From PIO? No, I never felt a burn, except from the pinch of the needle going in.

I use them each cycle and they never gave me any side effect...I also used them during my pregnancy (until 8 weeks) and I was totally fine....
ETA: you said you are 10 days post ER which is the same as ovulation.....PIO is evil and gives pregnancy symptoms...don't drive yourself crazy analyzing everything....Good luck!!

Re: Anyone use estraderm patches?
I had HORRIBLE side effects from them. I got all of my usualy AF zits. Horrible cramps. Migraines daily. Cleaning like a lunatic. Enraged and psycho. Craving cigarettes (I haven't smoked since college.) Sweating like a pig. Most of the symptoms were similar to AF symptoms so I was convinced I was out while only made me cry hysterically. I was a mess. Couldn't wait to get off of them!
