After stopping meds (BFN) did you have any symptons??

Post by kristinen »

I got a BFN in Monday..I have stopped taking PIO shots and estradiol tablets. I have been feeling HORRIBLE. Not just horrible from the BFN. but almost like I am in strange drug withdrawal. I feel almost nonfunctional. Has anyone experienced this?

Yes, unfortunately I've have experience that 3 times now. It just takes a few days. Try drinking a lot of water & getting exercise. Getting plenty of sleep at night. In general, just taking extra good care of yourself and by next week you should feel physically better.
I have my pregnancy test on Friday. I've taken 3 HPT's & got (+) on one & now (-) on the next two. So I may be going through the same withdrawal symptoms for Labor Day weekend. Not looking forward to it.
Hang in there,

I had that happen to on my first go around. My brain was so fuzzy and I felt depressed. I was one unhappy camper but it did go away. Hang in there.

I wondered at the time and again after reading this why they put your body through such a shock. It seems like it would be better to taper off so the jolt wasn't so severe. The emotional jolt is enough to deal with. I guess when you give birth you get a similar drastic shift in hormones but then you get some nice ones added on that make it easier.
