Trouble TTC

Terrible headaches on clomid

This is my second month taking 50 mg of Clomid and once again, I'm having headaches.  Anyone else have this side effect?  Ugh, only two more pills and I am done for the month.  yuck!

Re: Terrible headaches on clomid

  • I'm sorry:( I also got headaches on it. I think they are caused by the low estrogen levels Clomid causes. Feel better!
    IUIs #1-3 (1x unmedicated, 2x Clomid) = 2 BFNs, 1 m/c at 7w3d
    IUIs #4-6 (injects) = 3 BFNs
    IVF #1 = BFN
    FET #1 = BFN
    FET #2 = BFN
    IVF #2 = BFP, b/g twins lost at 20w due to partial abruption/PPROM
    IVF #3 = c/p 5w2d
    Long-shot Clomid/Prednisone cycle before next IVF = BFP, our beautiful, healthy girl born 6/26/13!

    my first cycle of Clomid was 50 mg, and it sucked so bad, i had headaches, floaters in vision, hot flashes, i hated it

    my second cycle was 100 mg, and zero side effects

    That's weird that the larger dose yielded less side effects.  I'm pretty certain I was having a hot flash this morning.

  • I'm sorry you have a headache. I got a headache both times I took 50 mg of clomid but it was always a day or two after I took my last pill. I also get hot flashes in my sleep the week after taking the pills. I hope your headache goes away soon.

  • The good thing is that the side effects go away right after you stop taking the Clomid (at least that is what my RE said, and what happened to me).

    Yes, I agree.  Last cycle, my headaches pretty much stopped the day after I stopped taking the pills. These hot flashes are new this month.  How fun!

  • I hope your headaches go away soon! They really are miserable. If you go to a chiropractor, they can usually help relieve the headache for me (for a little while at least).
