Nausea, birth control pill & Traditional Foods

[SusanL]

I'm only on day four of the pill (desogen) and it is really doing a number on me - nausea, loss of appetite, insomnia. Has anyone else had this experience? Any solutions?

I follow a traditional foods diet. Anyone else out there going through IVF and a traditional foods person? I wonder if that is effecting me, in that my body is just not used to any type chemicals.

I'm sorry, I haven't gone through IVF yet, but there are many people on this board who have! I'm sure one of them will be able to answer your questions.

Shania, both times I've done IVF the first step was the birth control pill. I did not mean to offend. I *am* trying to conceive and my only possibility of conceiving is through IVF because my DH has no vas deferns. It is counterintuitive to be on the pill but is part of controlling my body for the process.

I spoke with a crabby nurse today who said maybe I could go off it and do a natural start. I've never heard of that. I'm waiting for her to talk to my doc. I wonder if the success rate is effected. I was up four hours last night, unable to sleep due to nausea.

I'm wondering if maybe Shaina didn't read the whole post and see that you're undergoing ivf? I didn't at first either, and only caught the ivf reference on a second read-through. Maybe change the title, adding that it's "ivf related"? I'm sorry I can't offer any help in this matter, and I'm sorry you had to deal with a crabby nurse. Nobody deserves to be treated roughly when they are in this awful place called infertility.
