Hello, did anyone experience headache whilst on progesterone and oestrogen treatment? I am currently on oestradiol 6 mg nocte, prolutex 25 mg dly and utrogestan 400 mg bd ( FET day 5 post transfer).

The headache worsens when progesterone is taken , then improves during the day.

My headaches are unbelievable whilst on progesterone and the nausea is crazy.

I know some people don’t get any symptoms but it’s kicking my ass!

Yes, I've never had headaches (except for when they're self-inflicted :) ) and from a day or so in to taking oestrogen for my FET I felt terrible, mainly nausea but also mild headaches. The clinic reduced my oestrogen and when I started progesterone it helped with the sickness but the headaches were something else - they were there all the time (along with brain fog) right up until I stopped lubion injections and Ultrogestan around 11 weeks. I didn't really have any symptoms before when I was on cyclogest for fresh transfers so I think it was just the amount I was on for the FET. No fun at all but it's all been worth it x

Yes exactly! I started with mild headaches with oestrogen, but the headaches got worse with pessaries and even worse with progesterone injections! It feels like a migraine coming and going and usually worsens following the prog injection

Hi Blueberry 211Sorry you are suffering from headaches - make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids - this should help If headaches continue to become severe maybe you should let the clinic/nurse know
