    I definitely got headaches while on the Gonal F.  Haven't had hot flashes since clomid though, sorry!

    GL!

    Are you taking lupron or any suppression drugs too? 

    I def have headaches and hot flashes on meds too, but I think it's more to do with the supression instead of gonal f.  Sorrry you are having side effects, it sucks!

    Yes, for me. Gonal F was my "starter" IF med. Since then I think that I have gotten used to the headaches. But I have been nauseous for what seems like a year : (

     

    Hope you feel better soon!
