We didn’t have a much of a break between being unsuccessful at the frozen round and starting a few new cycle. It was less than a month from my result to starting shot 1 again. In hindsight I think having a longer break would have helped as I was pretty run down whilst taking shot one.
Mouth Thrush due to stress!!!
So it all started with a slight ear ache. I went to my GP and got it checked out and I was prescribed ear spray to sort it out. Before using the spray I checked with the IVF clinic ensuring it wouldn’t interfere with my cycle!
Whilst having an ear ache I started to have a mouth ulcer but was really uncomfortable. It became so uncomfortable and that I was struggling to eat and my teeth started to hurt too. I started to use over the counter meds to clear up the ulcer ( again I checked in with the clinic). I also made a dentist appointment thinking I had tooth ache!
The following morning I woke up and put a torch light in my mouth to see what was going on and it appeared I had white stuff all along the top of my mouth which was extremely saw! I had ear ache still, tooth ache still, and white patches appeared which I thought was ulcers! I went to the walk in centre and was told I had mouth thrush ( 10 mouth ulcers) which was all due to stress. The ear and tooth ache was linked to this!
I was feeling so run down and top of it all I was taking a shot every evening! I didn’t need this at all. 😦
Bleed whilst on shot 1
Once my mouth thrush cleared I began watching out for my bleed which was meant to happen after 10 days of using the injection. To my delight this actually happened on day 10! In the past my bleeds have been delayed which results in taking shots for longer.
This was probably one of the worst bleeds I had! I was in so much pain , really bad cramps and feeling totally rubbish. I just felt like it was one thing after another 😦
