5wks+3 terrible headache

[Rehsuh]

Hi all, hope you are well. I had my positive test after FET nine days ago and have been obsessively symptom spotting. Don’t need to now but I feel so dreadful with headache that just won’t go away after 24 hrs and nausea, and sensitivity to bright lights. I can eat but only jam sandwiches. Anything else would make me sick I think. I haven’t been sick but feel very sick and was up most of the night. No bleeding - tiny bit of spotting last Friday. And lower abdomen pains are mild and fleeting, nothing I’m worried about. Waiting for the clinic and the GP (whichever comes first), to call me back to discuss. Anyone experienced anything similar? Worried there’s something wrong. I’ve had three miscarriages previously. Thanks for reading x

I had bad headaches in the first trimester.

I also had bad headaches in the first trimester .... I think it’s all the hormones. It sucks cause you can’t take anything strong - the only thing that took the edge off for me was a three pronged attack of paracetamol, 4head stick on my forehead and a cold migraine patch in my neck! Hope you feel better x

Thank you - I’m googling those last two things!

Hi, I’m 4 weeks 4 days and also have bad headaches, nothing I’m treating as trying to resist the temptation but it’s literally doing my head in. Glad I have a week off work next week. Hope you start to feel better soon
