What is/was your Lupron dose?

  I did 10 units and then dropped down to 5 units when I started stimming.  I felt very run down - like I was getting sick - so tried and I had headaches too - but once I dropped down to 5 units the side effects were not that bad.  Good Luck.

  I'll get my protocol on wednesday, but i can tell you that like most of my meds, my lupron box has a big yellow sticker on it that says "may cause dizziness".

  I hope you feel better!

  I am on 10 units and will decrease to 5 when I begin stims. I didn't experience dizziness although I did get killer headaches between days 2-4.

  I was on 10 units - but dropped to 5 units when I started stimming.

  I had horrible headaches the entire time I was on 10 units.  I also felt very blah and out of it - it is hard to describe.

  10 to 5 sounds pretty standard. I feel better.

  I hope that I don't get the headaches.. thouse sound really bad.

  Are you taking lupron again for this cycle?

  I am on 20 units.  My RE has me start lupron the day I start stimming (Menopur/Follistim) so maybe that's why I'm a little higher than other posters.  Also, I don't have any side effects or issues from my protocol.

  I was on 10 units all the way through stims and I would get lightheaded shortly after taking it.  But I never got headaches or felt "blah." HTH and good luck with your cycle!

  Maybe that's just a different protocol too? GL

  That's how I felt. I did the shot at 7:30 and then at 8:30 I was feeling really dizzy and now I'm back to normal again.

  No - I am doing the Antagonist protocol so no Lupron for me!  I am very excited to not do it this go around!

  I am starting off with 20 units.  But I don't start taking it until Thursday, and our ER is on the same day.  Hopefully your dizziness goes away when your body gets used to the meds.

  Congratulations to my girl AmberZ! So happy for you!

  This is exactly what we did for IVF.  Now that we are doing the FET, we are on 10 units.
