Side effects on Zumenon (estradiol)?

[Peanutchips]

Hey lovelies.

Hope you’re all doing as well as can be.

I’m now 1 week into taking estradiol for my 2nd FET and getting headaches on a daily basis. Also, feeling quite down and teary too (although obviously super happy to be attempting a FET)

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Peanutchips. Unfortunately headaches/migraine is one of the potential side effects of the drug. Try drinking extra water as it sometimes helps. Good luck! Diane

Thanks so much Diane! 😊

Totally normal! I think half of the emotional state is the drugs and the other half is the reality that you’re on another cycle. Sending you big hugs, as Diane said, drink LOTS of water and try to keep busy. You’ve got this 💪🏻❤️ xxx

Thanks so much lovely! Yes, I think you’re right - definitely half is the reality that I’m doing a cycle again and all the emotion that opens up 🙈 xxx
