Day Four

Today is day four of my second treatment cycle on Femara. I am continuing to take Actos and am on 5mg of Femara on days three through seven followed by an hcg shot on day 15. I took my first dose of femara last night before I went to bed. This morning I went to the restroom as normal when I wake and it was uncomfortable. It felt like I had a urinary tract infection. In other words, it burned. I remember feeling this last cycle but assumed it was a side effect of the zpack I was taking for the sinus infection. I now think it is the Femara. While I don't think I have a urinary tract infection, I do think the Femara causes an inbalance which could lead to a urinary tract infection or just plain irritation. I am lightly spotting and have stuck to liners. It is also worth noting that I have had a headache for the past two days. The day I started this cycle, I felt much less aggitated and much less hormonal. I went from wanting to cry and feeling angry to almost feeling normal. It was a wide swing. Today, I feel mostly normal. I am a little distracted but have a lot going on with work. This distracted feels more like I have a lot going on than I am overly hormonal. To maintain urinary tract health, my doctor suggests yogurt. I had some this morning. I had a coffee Saturday and a beer and two cookies last night. As I started my medicine, I am back off sweets, caffiene, alcohol, and anything else which is not healthy.
