Migraine! Is there anything I can take during the 2ww for a throbbing migraine.

I'm on day 12dp5dFET and last two nights I've been suffering from bad migraines.!!!! ??? I dont know why!!!!

Is it okay to take some sort if pain killer during this time. Like ibuprofen or anadin?

As far as I understand paracetamol is the only one ok during pregnancy. I asked in advance of IVF as I’ve been getting migraine more often and they said the GP can also prescribe other options.

Okay thanks so much!!!

CI'm so worried too since I get migraine just before my period!!! And I have my OTD day in 2 days!.

Try not to worry if your migraines are related to your hormones normally then you’ll have hormones all over the place at the moment anyway. Doesn’t necessarily mean AF is coming. Mine come when I relax after stress. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Great timing! They’re no fun whatever causes them that’s for sure! Hope you feel better soon!

Are you still drinking lots of water?

I suffer with a lot of migraines, but thankfully this cycle, I didn’t suffer too much, just had one recently, but being 10 weeks successful I didn’t want to take anything.

I used the stick on forehead patches, the balm head rub and there is a pressure point between the pointing and middle finger, just under the knuckle that you can hold with the other hand which is meant to help. They say you can use paracetamol, but I know with my migraines, they wouldn’t touch the side!!

No idea how effective it will be but I recently read that if you put a very tight bull clip between your thumb and index finger it can drastically reduce migraine pains. I always find ice packs help me. Hope you get rid ASAP lovely x

Thanks so much! Im putting a balm on my forehead and pressing the pressure points!!!! Thankyou!! Xxx
