What are common side effects of E2 and Lupron?

hildes · 03-03-2005, 10:47 AM

In the past, I've only taken Lupron microdose before, and never estrogen, but now we're using ED and I'm doing regular Lupron as well as E2 patches and vaginally. I've been having a lot of headaches lately, but that could be coincidental. Just curious if that's a common side-effect. Does anyone know?

I got horrible migraines with the lupron. This last time taking it though I only had about 2 or 3 days of headaches and they were not at the same level as my past ones. One cycle, they had to extend my lupron for an extra 2 -3 weeks. That was the worst. Also, hot flashes but again in this past cycle everything was minor.

I've had horrible headaches while on lupron. Also this last time I had trouble sleeping. Either I couldn't fall asleep or I would wake up and toss for hours. Anyway once you start taking your stims these side effect will go away.
