Mirena and migraines?
| Sat, 08-19-2006 - 7:56pm |
Another IUD question? About the time I ovulate I get a migraine. I don't usually get any around the time of my period, just the time of ovulation. I know it's probably a hormonal headache, as it happens each cycle. Does anyone who has the Mirena have worsening headaches, or found research that shows it does make headaches worse? I know it's on the list of side effects, but was wondering about real-life people. Years ago I did take the depo shots and had good results with no periods. I loved that part of it and would love to have a lighter period.

I have had no problems with headaches or migraines since having the Mirena IUD inserted.
Mirena suppresses ovulation about 50% of the time, so around 50% of the time you shouldn't experience migraines, if they are indeed associated with ovulation.
