hey all

I hope you are all well.

just wondering if anyone experienced headaches after their embryo transfer?I've had my partners eggs transferred to me 2 days ago and today I have a terrible headache I can't even work.I've tested and it's not covid and probably just the medication but wanted to know if anyone had similar after their ET?

May be due to medication but also make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids because dehydration can cause headaches esp as it very warm . Good luck with 2WWIf headache does not settle or gets worse let your clinic know and they should be able to give you advice about it

Take care

Headaches are a listed side effect of Cyclogest, but the leaflet advice is to speak to your doctor if they are severe.

Hi HMW. If you are on progesterone, it is probably a side effect from that, as it works on the pituitary gland in the brain. Try drinking at least 3L water daily, and take paracetamol if needed. No anti inflammatories such as ibuprofen. Hope all soon settles down. Diane
