Title: Feeling Ill the Day Before Taking Shot
Post by: Pinkkatie on November 03, 2014, 06:24:35 AM
I take a shot of estrogen ever other week. A day or two before I should be taking my shot I get these splitting headaches and my stomach gets upset. The first time it happened to me I thought it was just a coincidence, but now it has happened three or four times in a row. It didn't happen to me when I first three months I've been taking the shot. As soon as I inject myself I feel great. I'm just wondering if this happens to anyone else. I'm going to bring this up the next time I see my doctor.

Why not just cut the dosage in half and switch to weekly injections???

My doc had no problem with that logic and even no problem with me further reducing dosage and doing my shots every 5 days...

I gotta say I LOVE doing it this way, all the highs and lows are gone and I just feel great most of the time ;D
