Estrostep and Headache

I've just begun taking Estrostep FE and am in my 3rd week. For the past few days or so I've had a headache. Headaches are not an uncommon thing for me but three days straight is a little unusual. Is this a common thing with Estro? Anyone else experience this. I switched b/c Ortho tri cyclen gave me heavy periods and cramping and was told Estro would reduce this. If anyone has any input I'd appreciate it. -Munka

I had horrible headaches with Estrostep or any pill with that specific type of progestin.

Hi Munka,


I did a search on Estrostep FE and came up with this information:

What are the common side effects of this medicine?
