My husband (35M) and I (31F) are brand new to all of this so I don’t know all the abbreviations yet. I have breast cancer and start chemo on June 5th so we’re only doing this one round.

I started Letrozole and Gonal F on Tuesday and have been getting INTENSE disgusting drenching everything night sweats since the first night I started on them.

I only see “hot flashes” as a side effect for these meds but isn’t that different if it’s only happening at night?

I’m still recovering from a double mastectomy (about a month out) and I’m terrified this drenching will cause infection somehow. I’m also a bit triggered because I’ve only had night sweats once before and it was in the month before I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and they stopped after the first surgery which led me to believe it was related to the diagnosis (the chemo I’m doing is preventative as they got all visible cancerous tissue in the mastectomy).

I’ll call the fertility clinic as soon as they open but for now…anyone have the same experience on these meds prior to egg retrieval?
