I wish I hadn’t Dr. Go.og.led this…
According the Wikipedia this is a steroid used to fatten up cattle, and Bangladeshy prostitutes… It is also addictive, makes you sick to your stomach and causes insomnia.
I get to take it for at least 30 days. Lucky me.
I took Dex on two different cycles, but only during my LP, so for 14 days at a time max. It was a couple years ago, but I honestly dont remember any bad side effects. I certainly didnt have any naseau or anything like that, and never became addictive. Hoping you have the same, positive effect with it. And secretly hoping you give me good news about Dex, because I'll also be taking it during my IVF protocol!
ReplyDeleteI took it with my pregnancy, no side effects I can remember (fatten up cattle huh? Yikes!). I had morning sickness from the beginning so I took Zofran through the entire pregnancy and it worked like a charm.
ReplyDeleteI have been taking it, and unfortunately it has caused weight gain and puffiness :-( It makes me feel like I'm starving!! I hope it's not bad for you. This past round for me wasn't as bad. Thinking of you and hoping for the best.
ReplyDeleteI took dexamethasone during each of our IVF cycles and really felt no side effects from it. The side effects from injectibles are much worse and much more noticeable. I promise you won't come out of this looking like a Bangladeshy prostitute.
ReplyDeleteThanks girls! Its nice to hear sucess stories of people who've actually taken it. In the end an extra 15 lbs are worth it (unless I start to look like a hooker from bangladesh...)
ReplyDeletei'd totally be a hooker from Bangladesh if it meant i got preggers...
ReplyDeleteI hate Dr. Google. But I'm thinking that if all else fails, hooker from Bangladesh should totally be your Halloween costume this year!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I forgot to say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the new blog style. It's gorgeous and your pictures are great.
ReplyDeleteHi! I was asking about effect of Dex to my twitter friend @Braving_IVF and she led me to your post here! I am taking it now and feeling I am wide awake. I've been told of insomnia and bloating as side effects of Dex. I don't get tired at all so I don't get straight sleep at night. As far as stomachache, I don't have it because I take it with lots of food. But I feel the bloatness, but not sure if its from AF coming or because of this Dex meds..? OOPs! I forgot to introduce myself. I am Asano and on twitter as @rocckyty5. Also have a blog too. I've been TTC for sometime and finally my first IVF in progress as we speak! Very nice to meeting you!
