TTC after 35

Stimming Side Effects

Has anyone else had any stimming side effects?  I started with 25mg of Femara and have been doing Follistim injections for 4 nights now.  The bloating I expected but I'm having horrible headaches!  I'm dealing...just wanted to know if I was the only one.

Re: Stimming Side Effects

  • The stims can cause all kinds of delightful side effects.  I havent taken femara or follistim but I did get a hellish headache on my first day of stims.  I hope you feel better.  My RE said it was ok to take tylenol for the headaches.

    One of the few times I have had migraines in my life were from stimming. 

    I hope you feel better and good luck!

  • Thanks y'all!  The headaches started after the injections but have kinda slacked off a little bit now.  I do feel like I'm wearing a tent though since I'm so bloated!
