Pregnant after IVF and experiencing itchyness on belly, hands and arms. ?

Question

Any ideas what this might be? I'm on Progesterone and Clexane and until now have only had minimal symptoms. Thanks.

Answer 1

i did go through itchy hands an feet but mine was more to do with blood circulation and becausei was so warm, it made me itch. Keep an eye on it let your doctor know and keep an eye on blood pressure too.

Answer 2

Could be something called PUPPS which women get when they are pregnant or possible cholestasis of pregnancy. Either way I'd go see your doctor because cholestasis is VERY serious and has to do with your liver and while not harmful to you could be very dangerous to your unborn baby! Good luck and i hope it's just dry skin!

Answer 3

Skin irritation in pregnancy is very common. Although in some rare cases a condition called Obstetric Cholestasis may be the cause. You need to ask your doctor for a blood test to determine if you do in deed have OC since it can be life threatening to the baby. It is impossible to tell you exactly what it is over the computer with such limited information, so your best bet is to definitely speak to your doctor sooner than later. I am also not familiar with the drugs you are taking, and they very well might be the cause of your discomfort. Good luck to you.
