    I was told to only take Tylenol for mine. I also would give you a heads up to stay super hydrated! I was drinking almost a gallon of water a day to stay regular and keep the headaches at bay!!
    Me: 36 DH: 38 -TTC since May 2011. Bilateral mid-tubal blockages. Starting first IVF minimal stim cycle in June. Labs-Day 3: TSH 1.60mIU/L FSH 6.8mIU/mL Estradiol 46 pg/mL Day 10: FSH 5.3mIU/mL

    I'll agree with the staying hydrated.. I didn't get the headaches in the beginning but as the meds built up I started getting them and the only thing that helped was staying really hydrated.

    I also had/have bad headaches on Menopur. Definitely stay hydrated as others have said and Tylenol is also what I've been told to take. Good luck!!
