Question

Headaches After Clomid??

I have PCOS and needed Clomid to conceive my son. DH and I have decided to try for a little girl, so in February I started Clomid again with the Metformin that I take every day. That 1st round of Clomid was business as usual; I've always had very low side effects from it. The 2nd cycle was different. Starting exactly 2 days after my last dose (I did days 2-6) on March 17,I got a terrible headache that no joke, lasted until the day I started my period, which was the day before yesterday. For 2 whole days I had no headache! :) I started the Clomid again on day 2 (yesterday) and already tonight I've got a headache! :( I see the fertility specialist on Monday and I'm going to tell her if no luck this cycle then I want to try Femara. Anyone else have crazy headaches while taking Clomid?

Hi there,
I am getting those exact headaches while on Femara. I have done 8 consecutive cycles with it and got a headache every single time just as I started the pills. The initial dose was 2.5 mg then we increased to 5 mg. The headache stayed the same. I took Tylenol. It does not really help because the headache is best described as a migraine (pain behind the eyes, forehead, light sensitivity). I think the pain is connected to changes in hormone levels. Best wishes and the Lord's blessings.

Clomid gave me horrible headaches and so does Femara but Femara is better. The headache is not as painful, you can take pain relief, just try to take as little as possible. Paracetamol/Tylenol is fine. No pain no gain?
