Infertility

Headaches after failed IVF cycle?

I'm not on any meds right now, just waiting to start IVF 2. We got our BFN on Feb 16th and it seems like I've had a headache every afternoon/night since then. Ok, probably not EVERY night, but certainly close to it.

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm just trying to figure out if this is some belated s/e from the meds, or what?

Thanks!

Re: Headaches after failed IVF cycle?

  • I have had a headache almost every day since my BFN too!  I don't know if it's all the meds leaving my system, messing with my hormones, or just because I cried so much, or because the weather has been so messed up.. but I'm with you.. Bad headaches and migraines!  uuughhh

    Hope they go away soon!!!

  • are you currently on BCPs?  I always get horrible headaches when i am on them.  and stress also plays a big part of it.  I had a headache for a month straight after my failed cycles.  your body and hormones are so out of whack that is could be from that.
