right now i am taking lupron, menapure, and bravel. i take the lupron twice a day and the manapure and bravel at night. the problem is that they are starting to give me bad headaches and they are sending my emotions all over the board. one minute i am happy and the next i am a demon. and with the headaches i am just miserable. i have a daycare in my home so when i have a bad headache the kids dont make it any better because they dont understand why they have to be quiet and they never are anyway. i have tried taking tylenol but that only works for so long. i am greatful that this will be over soon. i go in and talk to my re tomorrow.

because i also have a daycare i updated my sick child policy and i informed the parents that it would now include children with any type of cold as well. because of the headaches i have been getting on these meds the last thing i need is to be sick with a cold at the same time. i am afraid that if i got sick that my headaches would turn into a migrain and i would end up in the hospital again. i sent one child home sick on friday and another home today.

I know I had a dull headache the whole time I was on Lupron and it was crappy...Hope it gets better soon! I dont blame you for not wanting to keep sick kids, you really dont need that!

Funny you mentioned that. I have the WORST headache plus I had minimal sleep last night. DH & went to a concert last night(Mary J Blige & Jay Z) & didnt get home til 1am and Im at work all day. I need to sleep the headache off and get some rest.

But I have noticed the headaches are here more then usual. Im taking 10U of Lupron 2x/day and 300U of Gonal F 2x/day!!!! Well, this morning was my last shots now I move to the big girl needles. OUTCH.....

I had a terrible headache when I started Follistim and Menopur. It did get better after a couple of days. I took tylenol and drank a diet pepsi (I had taken myself off caffeine a few weeks before, so it really did the trick!)
