Hi everyone
I hope you are all doing well
I have just my 5th cycle - 1st EC cycle out of 3
felt it … was sick for the 1st 24hrs despite the anti sickness tabs 2 types
I am feeling slightly better today but I have so much saliva which I am having to spit as swallowing it is making me feel more sick
it takes me back to my pregnancy days 20+ yes ago
my mouth has such a horrible sweet taste
had anyone experienced this and any tips will be greatly appreciated
I ve managed a bit of toast and popcorn (salt) today and doing my best to drink little and often.. icy water
but as soon as I have nothing in my mouth excess salivating starts …. It’s driving me crazy on top of not feeling well
Thankyou every one for your support… I learn so much from this forum
God bless you all and keep you strong through this unwanted uninviting journey
