Nuvaring and migraines
| Thu, 07-05-2007 - 10:16pm |
Hi everyone,
I have a question for those of you that use Nuvaring. DO you get a severe headache on the week you take out the ring?
I never had these headaches before and it is weird to me that it is during the week I am OFF the ring. I never had bad PMS before either, so I don't think the migraines are PMS related.
Thanks

Hi,
I get menstrual migraines and I have gotten them during the placebo break on BCPs. The migraines are caused by the change in hormones when you remove the ring. Some GYNs are giving women a small dose of estrogen during the break to try to avoid the "estrogen crash" that brings on the headache while still allowing AF to happen.
