Headaches during IVF treatment or pregnancy

10 Easy Remedies That Can Heal Your Headache Fast...

1. Large Glass of Water. Sounds too easy, right? Well it works more often then you think. Dehydration is one of the MOST COMMON causes of headaches, so a glass of cool, clear water might be all you need to start relieving pain.

2. Deep Massage. You probably already know about massages and how they help to relieve stress & tension. However, what you didn't likely know is that a firm massage on the head, face, AND neck can quickly get rid of headache pain.

3. Aromatherapy. This is quickly becoming one of the most well known headache remedies around. Why? Because it actually WORKS. Sandlewood, peppermint, eucalyptus, lavender, and a wide assortment of other natural oils can be used to reduce, if not completely eliminate pain. These scents can be found in oils, candles, and even soaps.

4. Take a Hot Shower. Stand in the shower and allow the hot water to cascade down your neck and back. This should loosen your muscles and allow for better blood flow. Also, this would be a good time to use the aromatherapy "soap" that was mentioned in headache cure #3.

5. Ice Pack. You can use an ice pack, a cold towel, a bag of frozen peas, or anything else that's really cold. Apply this cold item to the back of your neck (or wherever the pain is located) and allow it to sit for about 5 to 10 minutes. This technique should help reduce any inflammation, not to mention help numb the pain a bit.

6. Using Pressure Points. One of the most underrated of all headache cures & remedies is using pressure points. It sounds far-fetched, sure, but it can provide great results if done correctly. Try It Out: Find where the bones of your "index" finger & thumb meet (the fleshy area). Apply pressure to this spot for 2 minutes.

7. Relaxing & Resting. Sometimes a headache is just your body telling you that you're overworked and way too stressed. Lie down in a dark room, shut your eyes, and just relax for awhile. Once this particular headache "attack" goes away, you should try to dial down your stress a bit and look for ways to relax and enjoy life just a bit more. (This is another one of those headache remedies that is much too often overlooked)

8. Diet. Do certain foods you eat always seem to trigger a headache? Then it's time to dump these items from your daily diet. Everyone reacts differently to foods (and the ingredients they contain) so it's important to take a CLOSE look at what you're eating and when these "attacks" occur. If need be, keep a headache diary.

9. Calcium Supplement. This can help to relax your muscles and increase bloodflow, which should help to alleviate pain a bit. A large glass of orange juice should do fine if you are without supplements. Many experts recommend taking a supplement which has both magnesium & calcium for maximum headache relief.

10. Exercise. Depending on the severity of the attack, this is one of those headache cures which might not be that easy to do. But regardless, you should definitely consider doing this before AND after the headache. Exercise will increase circulation & bloodflow throughout the body, allowing more blood & more oxygen to reach your brain. Exercising regularly should GREATLY help to PREVENT headaches from returning.

  3. More cureable, less expensive and accurate care solution is ivf rather than ICSI. Its IVF cost which really make it different, but not just the cost. One of my friend Malissa recently use this treatment, we usedd Benenden Fertility Centre as recomended by an other friend. The treatment was well enough as a secure process with least harms. My ssumption are that ivf cost uk are coparitively higher, but they are not. The centers like above are really making a well step for couples.

  6. Hello my name is Kyle from EDGEWOOD, Washington DC. I am here to give a glorious testimony of my life. Twelve (12) years after my marriage I have not been able to give birth to a child, it was getting unbearable for me and most especially my husband too. I was scared, my husband was loosing his patience for me though he did not say it out but I could see it in his eyes and the way his mood change most times until a day that we had a serious argument which almost led to the break of my marriage. I was loosing hope when a friend of mine told me about a powerful doctor, Dr. Osagie. I got to talk to him and I told him all I was passing through and he told me that all will be fine, although most times I had doubts but I had no choice but to try and see cause I had nothing else to loose. We discussed and he sent a medicinal herb that I took for 2wks and all of a sudden I began to feel weak and woozy anytime I woke up and my appetite for food increased, I told the Doctor all that was happening to me and he told me to go get a pregnancy test, guess what I was already 5days pregnant now I am a proud mother of 3 beautiful kids all thanks to Dr. Osagie if you feel you need help and your situation is just like mine do not be scared it is fine. You can get to Dr. Osagie through Email: DROSAGIE99@GMAIL.COM or you can also WhatsApp him Via +2349070977669. My regards to you out there.
    KYLE WARREN.
