After all the IVF hormonal injections, my body was in shock and gave me bad headaches. Be very gentle with yourself, rest in a quiet room, and let your clinic know.

It's mostly because of hormones, low blood sugar, or lack of sleep. Drink lots of water, eat on time, and if it still doesn't go away, talk to your gynac.
