[|Human|] Hi... even as posted below I have also gone through my IVF treatment. In the first attempt I was fortunate enough to concieve and carried the pregnancy till 6 week and thereafter it was a missed abortion. I was also on Gestone which I stopped after having sivere itching and rashes on whole body after probably 2 week of my result was tested possitive. I was asked to stop Gestone & shift to Crinone Gel vaginally. The rashes do stopped but in the regular followup in 7th week , I was informed of my missed abortion. Now recently in March and after aprox 6 months of 1st attempt I attempted the 2nd IVF and this time again I developed a very red itch rashes on whole body after 1 week of embryo transfer, again I was asked to stop gestone and put 2 crinone gel daily but on the 14th Day of testing my result was negative. The rashes are still continuing till date but the tendency and frequency is reduced. Please Help... is this a Gestone side effect, or something else? Thank you
[|AI|]  Hi, thanks for posting your query to us. As you have mentioned, it seems that itching and rashes are due to gemstone. Tenderness, pain, swelling, redness at the injection site is quite common and occurs in almost every person, severe itching and rashes all over the body can occur with gemstone (oral or intramuscular)though not very common. Since the tendency and frequency of rashes has decreased, it means that the effect of gemstone is waning off slowly, and you will be completely normal in a month or two. You may take an anti histamine daily for 15-20 days for itching.-Apply local steroid cream over the red areas.-A soothing lotion like calamine lotion will help.-You may even take a short course of oral steroids for early recovery. You may consult your doctor for the same. In your next IVF you avoid taking gemstone. Wish you a speedy recovery.
