I think I have the same I started them 6 days ago . I had my transfer Saturday but yesterday I started getting really bad headaches , feeling really sick and I had an upset tummy last night. I'm thinking it must be them. As I'm feeling really ruff . Xxx

Hi jupiter1234. Oh dear, not nice. The drug acts on your pituitary gland in your brain, and can often cause headaches. Hopefully, this will subside, but may stay with you until your own progesterone takes over properly and your body doesn't need any extra. Good luck and hope you soon feel better. Diane

Thankyou I'm hoping it'll pass as the headache is constant and paracetomal isnt really helping much. I just generally feel like I want to sleep all week but I'm guessing that can just be everything were doing to our bodies making us feel run down.

Hi jupiter1234. So sorry that you're suffering so much. Maybe speak to your GP for something stronger for your headache. No anti-inflammatories though, such as ibuprofen. Hope you soon feel better. Diane
