Anyone else have HORRIBLE headaches on clomid?

Mrs.LisaPMrs.LisaP
in Trouble TTC

This is my 5th round of clomid (2nd in a row 2, 50mg last time 100mg this time) last cycle I had a raging headache for 3 days straight 2 days into the clomid. This time, one dose in and it started already. Horrible horrible headache that I cant get rid of.

when I cycled 2 years ago, I remember hot flashes and moodiness but not headaches like these.

    I don't know that I would say horrible but I did have headaches.  I think it was worse during my 2nd cycle.  I hope it gets better soon!

    After more than 2 years of fertility treatments, FET did the trick!
    IVF March 2012 - BFP! - Severe OHSS = 8 days in the hospital in kidney failure
    No heartbeat at 10w6d
    FET August 27,2012 = BFP!
    It's a boy!

    Sorry, I've only done clomidon our two IUI cycles and if I had mild headaches - extra strength rapid release tylenol would take care of them. 

    When I've had mild migraines (Not TTC relates) one of the odd things that works great for me is a warm bath but a cold ice pack on my eyes.  Don't know why the hot & cold mix works but it's my go to fix.

    My RE said anything on the pain scale above normal for headaches while on Clomid, she wanted a call. I don't know why or how severe your current headache is, but I'd maybe call tomorrow to be on the safe side if you're experiencing pain out of the ordinary.

    I finished my first cycle of clomid 50mg a couple of weeks ago. I had bad headaches a few days after taking the last pill. I hope they go away soon! Good luck this month!

    I had headaches!!  I took it at night, so I could sleep through the headaches.  After sleeping they were usually better!

    I just took my last pill on Friday and woke up with a headache this morning -- it has lingered all day.  At first I thought it was from getting too much sun yesterday, but as the day progresses, I think it's hormone-related.  I'm sorry to hear your headaches are so bad.  Hope they improve soon.

    I did.  Femara, too, but not as bad.  I'm sorry, hope you get some relief soon.

    Yes I did. Also, my husband is taking Clomid for his sperm count. He has had a headache ever since he started taking it a few weeks ago. It sucks...worth it for a baby though!
    TTC #2 since 2/2010
    1/2011 My Dx: 1 Polycystic Ovary
    Husband Dx: Hypothyroidism= Low Testosterone & Low Sperm Count (7.4 m/mL)
    4/2011 Husband began thyroid meds
    5/2011 Begin OPK, Provera 10mg & Clomid 50mg= +OPK CD-17= BFN
    6/2011 SA-Sperm Count lower (2.2 m/mL), Testosterone slightly higher, Thyroid improving.
    Husband prescribed Clomid. Taking a break from my Clomid until we see SA results 9/2011. I will continue Provera as needed.
    7/2011 Unmedicated Cycle= +OPK CD-16=?
