Gonal F side effects

Hi ladies! So I’ve done two days of stims so far and wow the headache. It started as more of dull hangover type head and it’s just getting worse. Please tell me it goes away? Do I have any other lovely side effects to look forward to?

Sorry not got to my stims yet but didn't want to read and run. Good luck for your treatment x

Oh gosh I am not looking forward for those headaches again! 😣 sorry my dear but that is the main side effect i had from the gonal f! And omg they were horrendous and unfortunately did not go away until I stopped injecting it. But that's really the only side effect i had besides that and being a bit tired and bloated by day 7/8 but if your on gonal f I'm assuming your on a short protocol so not too long to go! Hang in there hun and best of luck! Xxxx

Yes it’s short protocol, today is day 3 and headache is never ending! Thanks honey x

I feel for you as I know how bad they are! I guess just drink plenty of water and maybe some paracetamol but that didn't do much for me. I'll be joining the headache train in less than 2 weeks 😣 hang in there and I look forward to your updates 😁 xxx

I've taken a couple of advil over the weekend but nothing has cut through. I am in work today and really need to get on top of things as I am planning on taking time after EC. Looking forward to your updates too xxx

Oh good stuff for taking time off you will need it I could barely walk for at least 2 days after EC. luckily I'm not working atm which I don't know if it's gonna be better or worse - no distractions! Not fun working with the headaches tho, hope you get lots of relaxing time when work is finished xxx

I had these - they did go away. But cannot remember exactly when....

But this was from progynova.

Oh my I hope they do! xx

I had acupuncture in my head and back of my neck. They put needles in the front of my forehead in the middle to try to relieve some tension.

I was always prone to hormonal headaches anyway - but found the IVF ones throbbing.

It went away once I went off Progynova.....
