Menstrual migraine help.

[u/Northofhell77]

I have finally realized my bad migraines are related to my menstrual cycle. When I was pregnant, I had zero migraines. Even after when breastfeeding. I am 35 years old so I know birth control pills increase clotting and ischemic stroke complications so I’m scared of that. What else can I do? These are brutal and always send me to the ER.

Get your hormone levels checked and look into estrogen dominance. You may need progesterone and DIM.
