Success after IF

Headaches with Lupron Depot? and other Qs?

I had my 1st Lurpon Dept shot almost 2 weeks ago and I have had a consistent headache for the past 8 days - it started 4 days after the shot and has gotten progressively worse. 

My Dr. encouraged the Lupron since I don't tolerate BCP well and my endo pain was getting worse.  I had been on it twice before with horrible headaches/migraines, not to mention I was an emotional mess and the lovely menopausal side effects later on in the doses. My Dr. convinced me to try it again without adding back any estrogen - he was convinced it was the estrogen that caused the issues. 

Did you have headaches when you were on Lupron Depot? 

Did you have success with Lupron treating endo?  Is it even worth it? 

The Dr. wants me to see a neurologist, but I don't want to treat side effects of a drug with more drugs...  I don't know how I will make it and be able to be a mom to toddlers for the next 6 months with this headache..

  • I got headaches, but they usually went away after about 3 days of taking it.
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
    My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

  • I expected LD to be awful and didn't really have SE at all.

    Are you taking Calcium and Vitamin D?  I've noticed that Calcium seems to deal with a lot of estrogen related side effects.  I took it am/pm and took Vitamin D (1000 iu 1x a day) at the advice of the RE.

  • I have been taking Calcium - but I haven't been diligent about it because it upsets my stomach.  I will work on being better at that - thanks for the tip :)
