Headache on stims

I'm on day 7 of injections (menopur, golalf and added cetrotide yesterday) I had 10 days of fematab prior to this.

Today I've had terrible nausea and headaches. I'm drinking water like a camel so it's not dehydration. Is this normal?

I suffer from migraines but never had such bad ones as during IVF stims and later on progesterone for transfer. It sucks but it is apparently normal.

I found trying to spend as much time asleep as possible seemed to help shake them off.

Hi, yes its just one of those side effects from the lovely medication we have to take constantly. Good luck!

Normal! As you are drinking so much more water it might be electrolyte imbalance, try a sachet of electrolyte drink, see if that helps.

Also had this, had such a bad migraine during my first round I landed in A&E….. But second round was fine.
