I've taken estrace for 2 1/2 days. I've had cetrotide for 2 days. AF arrived in all her glory this afternoon. After a panic-y call to the RE I was told to discontinue the estrace and take the last dose of cetrotide tomorrow AM. I go in Saturday AM for a scan and blood work. I'm concerned that because I'm not taking the last 3 estrace pills I won't have been "estrogen primed" properly. I addressed it with my nurse, and she said it was fine. I'll be bringing it up with the RE on Saturday.
Side effects. I was hoping I could slide by and not have any on these meds since I'm on them for such a short time, but it wasn't meant to be. I've had hot flashes for most of today. I've had a KILLER headache since I woke today as well. I've increased my water (in the hopes that it would get rid of the headache) but that hasn't helped. Tylenol is not helping either. I hope that once the meds are out of my system, I'll have time to have everything calm down before I start the stims and get the stim side effects.
I'm excited that this is all starting to be real. It's exciting to start using the pile of meds on my table and the stack of them in the fridge. I am really hopeful that this will be the one for us.
