I don't think I've ever had a true migraine, but I've always had really bad headaches that start the day before my period starts and last for 1-2 days. Sometimes I feel like I can't think or focus on anything because of the headaches. I've read that they're associated with the drop in estrogen at that point in a cycle.
Anyway, I went on a birth control pill (Yaz) a few months ago, and since then have not had a single period-related headache. I'm really amazed, because although I expected the pill to help me with mood swings, heavy bleeding, and other symptoms I was having, I didn't realize it would help relieve the headaches. I wonder if the pill would help with migraines as well.
