ghost- PIO side effects?

Post by bey1214 »

HI Ghost !!!
Quick question my last yr's transfer I took the PIO shots with no side effects but this time around (in my 2ww) I have been getting migraines every day !!!
Does that sound weird to you that I could take it one time and feel nothing and this time bad headaches.. any thoughts???

With "last year's transfer" was it a fresh cycle? FET's have double the dose of medication. I find that I have major side effects with FET's but I didn't with my fresh cycle because of the higher dose of medication.

It's believable.

It might not be the progesterone itself, but other components in the injection. After all, your progesterone level was almost certainly much higher in your fresh cycles, given natural production in those cycles.

You might ask your doctor if he might give you a different form of progesterone.

I will just wait it out I have my pregnancy test next week. I would hate to mess around with different meds this far in the game ...

and I'm also hoping that the strong craving for Chinese food is a pregnany symptom LOL !!! and I barely like Chinese food too..but lately it's all I want to eat---- Go Figure!!

Be sure to tell your doctor about the headaches.

If you're eatng a lot of chinese food, make sure it has no MSG. That totally gives me (and a lot of people i know) headaches!! You may be thinking it's your PIO and it's the MSG!

Long ago I read that MSG is not good for a developing fetus.
