I've been struggling with frequent headaches and my blood pressure is reading 150100 every three days. What could be causing this and is there anything I should do or be worried about?
You're 13 days post-IUI and experiencing various symptoms.
_Common Symptoms with Progesterone_
1. _Headache_: A possible side effect of progesterone.
2. _Leg pains and back pain_: Could be related to progesterone or hormonal changes.
3. _Mouth watering_: Not a typical symptom, but hormonal fluctuations might contribute.
4. _Period-like pain_: Could be a sign of implantation or hormonal changes.
_Pregnancy Test Timing_
1. _Wait until your period is due_: Take a pregnancy test on the day your period is expected or a day later for more accurate results.
2. _Avoid early testing_: Testing too early can lead to false negatives or inaccurate results.
_What to Do_
1. _Continue progesterone medication_: Finish the prescribed course as directed by your doctor.
2. _Stay hydrated and manage symptoms_: Drink plenty of water, and consider over-the-counter pain relievers for headaches and body aches.
3. _Schedule a follow-up appointment_: Visit your doctor after your period is due for a pregnancy test and further guidance.
