I forgot from my first IVF cycle how bad of a headache I got from the menopur/follistim. Tonight will be day 3 of stims. Anyone have a miracle cure? Tylenol isn't doing anything.
Me: 34 DH: 40
Removed ovarian cysts in Mar 2010 & removed left ovary in May 2010
TTC since Oct 2011
Sep 2012 IUI #1 Natural cycle BFN
Sep 2012 IUI #2 Natural cycle BFN
Oct 2012 IUI #3 Natural cycle BFN
Nov 2012 removed uterine polyp
Feb 2013 IVF #1 ER 2/8: 13R,6M,6F, 3dt of 1 6-cell & 1 7-cell embie, beta hell resulted in blighted ovum.
June 2013 IVF #2 cancelled due to lining too thick
July 2013 IVF #2.1 ER 7/9, 9R,4M,2F, 3dt of 2 8-cell embies, BFN
So sorry stims are already causing problems. I've learned that massaging your temples with a menthol based balm can help (tiger balm or similar). I hope the headaches go away soon.

I did tylenol with caffeine (usually sold as "tension headache", but make sure there is no aspirin in it) along with a full Gatorade at the suggestion of MFM and with RE approval. Can't say it was a magic cure but it made it so I could get through the work day. Mine were lupron related, not sure if that will make a difference! Feel better!
I had to sleep mine off! And, as soon as I felt one coming on, I'd take Tylenol.
