AWFUL Headaches after taking shots? HELP please

I was put on birth control to shrink cysts I had gotten from the follistim... I now am on the follistim.. I was wondering if anyone has gotten really bad headaches!?? I am in severe pain in my neck up to my temple and nothing helps. thought maybe you could let me know if anything helped you or if this even happened to you.

TIA!

    I got horrible migraines with each and every cycle.  The meds just did it to me.  Sadly, there's not much you can do.  I took Tylenol, lots of water, coffee, dark chocolate.  Nothing ever took them away, maybe just dulled them a bit.  Plus, the Lupron and dexamethasone gave me insomnia, so I was having trouble sleeping the headaches/migraines off too.

    It's just all part of the fun of IF.

    Good luck!

    I always took Tylenol along with something with caffeine, like a Coke.  When they got so bad I couldn't function I was given Tylenol 3 (with codeine in it) by my doctor.

    Other than that, the only other thing that helped was sleeping in a very dark room while pressing my head into a pillow.

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

    I'm sorry. I'm right there with pp. Nothing really worked, so I just dealt with them. Ice packs around my eyes were really the only thing that helped subside them.
