I took my Ovidrel trigger shot last Saturday night. Since last Sunday night/Monday morning I have been so exhausted, had a headache that comes and goes, and have nipples so tender and painful that I can't even sleep on my stomach or touch them without them hurting. My RE warned me that the side effects can mirror early pregnancy symptoms and I know it is too early for these to be actual symptoms...
Has anyone experienced side effects from your trigger shot? How long did they last after the shot?
Re: trigger shot side effects?
I was just super bloated from mine... Like painfully so. I think I had a headache for a day too...
It didn't last very long though, and I didn't even notice when the s/e went away.
This, although I did not do an IUI, we had TI this cycle.
I have been blaming the progesterone though...
