What Causes Hot Flushes When On Preparation Medicines For IVF?

my 2nd round of icsi, using frozen eggs failed. the eggs were never fertilised, so not implanted, but i took the drugs in preparation. this all happened over the last 4/6 weeks. I am now experiencing regular hot flushes, and wonder whether this is a known side effect. Thank you

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
If IVF doctor is using down regulation protocol for you, then it involves use of medicines called as GnRH analogues.
With these injections, your body stops producing sex hormones from ovaries for some time, this leads to hot flushes.
Please do not worry, these symptoms will vanish very soon, as doctor starts to give you medicines and injections for egg formation.

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
