Menopur/follistim and migraines?

Question

I am three days into my first IVF cycle and got a horrible migraine today. Does anyone know if that's typical on menopur or follistim?? Excedrine migraine made it go away but hoping it doesn't become the norm over the next few weeks!

Answer

I got them. Then I started drinking 8-10 glasses of half water half pedialyte EVERY day. It sucked having to pee but it absolutely helped the migraine situation. I also took Nyquil at night after the shots. Good luck!

Answer

Same here. Baseline and persistent headaches the past couple of days. Plenty of water seems to be doing the trick. I have stayed away from Exedrin and opted for tylenol instead the first day. Did not take anything yesterday or today. We'll see how the day will progress.

Answer

I don't know if it's normal for everyone, but it definitely happened with me. Hoping it won't become too frequent for you! Good luck in your cycle!

Answer

Yes. My Dr. Recommended taking magnesium and it's helped. I have this regularly and it's helped me.

Answer

Also, I don't think excedrine is supposed to be taken but obviously migraines are debilitating so you do what you think is best!
