I am on my 3rd week of taking Estrace and had to add Endometrin progesterone support today. The last time I took it after my transfer, I had yeast infection type symptoms and little bumps in my bum. Well, guess what? IT IS NOT YEAST ! Women develop the equivalent of JOCK ITCH !
Not long after I took the first dose did the burning and itching start ! I tried applying Aquaphor, and it did not help. I reached out to my nurse on Facebook and told her what was going on.
So, I was told by my nurse to apply hydrocortisone cream and Lamisil or Lotrimin twice a day and to also use a hand held blow dryer to dry out my hoo-haa after showers. The goal is to keep it as dry as possible down there. At night, I am to remove panties and sleep with a towel under me to allow things to “air out !”
The things we go through all to have babies ! #embarassing

I hate progesterone! I’ll never understand how it’s 2014 and they haven’t come up with a better process than putting pills and gel up the lady bits. Sorry you have this situation going on.

Next to what you’re going through, my shots are so much better. Can you switch to those?

Good grief, this is horrible! I’m so sorry you’re going through that. I’m with Stef – can you switch to PIO? I can’t remember if you were on this in the prior cycles though I don’t recall that. My understanding is that blood levels are more accurately measured with PIO anyway and since progesterone helps regulate immune function I actually chose it this time (masochism aside).

Oh, I will be on PIO AND Endometrin after my transfer. I have no clue as why we are doing the progesterone on the 3rd week of estrogen…. I only have a few more days to suffer LOL
