Progesterone Headaches?

Post by hope2006 »

Each time I am in a cycle about 5 days before PG test I start getting a really bad headache. Last time I thought oh maybe I am PG, but it was negative. I think its from the Progesterone suppository. Does anyone have any suggestions to make it go away?

I'm also on the 2ww, with Progesterone suppositories - testing 5th Feb and had a headache yesterday and the day before. Just took Paracetamol and it went - also a bit of relaxation helped!

Agree that it must be the Progesterone - I almost never get headaches normally and I've done almost nothing else to bring them on!! No booze, caffeine etc..

It's certainly annoying this 2ww though but I'm looking at each day or each medication as a step closer to a pregnancy - whether it happens this time or the next or the next - moving in the right direction!

I am jsut found out I am pregnant after my first cycle of IVF/ICSI on 1/30. I have been doing progesterone in oil shots. I have been getting headaches since sunday. I was wondering myself if they were from pregnancy or the pregesterone. I have been so stubborn about taking tylenol also. If they get that bad, I think I miht have to.
