Estradiol side effects?

[ga_girl70]

I am currently taking Lupron and Estradiol leading up to my IVF. I am having awful headaches and some nausea with the estradiol. Did anyone else experience this and does it go away? Thanks!

Thanks Jennie1211! I ended up calling the doctor and they recommended that I take the estradiol vaginally instead and it has been so much better. I am definitely bloated, my clothes are extremely tight right now. I started the progesterone shots tonight and I have the IVF procedure Sunday! Fingers crossed!! Thanks again!

I never had these particular symptoms (I took Lupron and am still on Estradiol post IVF) but I have read that these symptoms are pretty common and I was honestly expecting them. I believe they will go away, since the symptoms I personally had with Lupron in particular (horrible, horrible bloating) eventually did go away. I've got nausea now, but I think that's mostly due to the pregnancy. Take care, and hang in there!
