Did anyone have an FET with just estrogen patches?

What were your side effects from the patches? Since I started the estrogen patches on Tuesday I haven't been feeling well, almost like I'm starting to come down with something. I've had a constant headache, low energy and just overall not feeling well Has this happened to anyone else? I don't remember this from when I had my FET cycle 2 years ago.

Oh, and besides not feeling well, my skin is a WRECK and my face is bloated We're having family pictures done on Thursday and I'm going to look like crap

Are they Vivelle patches? I didn't use them for my FET, but I used them for my first IVF cycle last March. I don't remember getting side effects from them but I do remember them getting VERY itchy underneath the patch I remember that was the worst side effect and I needed calamine lotion all day long!! Aside from that though, it didn't make me feel sick or anything.. just uncomfortably itchy.
