headaches

I forgot from my first IVF cycle how bad of a headache I got from the menopur/follistim. Tonight will be day 3 of stims. Anyone have a miracle cure? Tylenol isn't doing anything.

Re: headaches

  • So sorry stims are already causing problems. I've learned that massaging your temples with a menthol based balm can help (tiger balm or similar). I hope the headaches go away soon.

  • I did tylenol with caffeine (usually sold as "tension headache", but make sure there is no aspirin in it) along with a full Gatorade at the suggestion of MFM and with RE approval.  Can't say it was a magic cure but it made it so I could get through the work day.  Mine were lupron related, not sure if that will make a difference!  Feel better!

  • I had to sleep mine off! 
    And, as soon as I felt one coming on, I'd take Tylenol.
