Sorry I haven't been around this week, ladies. Dh "starts" his new job on the 13th. I say "starts" because he's actually already started it. He works evenings and weekends there and works his regular job days. I'll be really glad when the 13th comes and he's only working one job!


I saw the doctor on Monday and he took me off the birth control pills I started on January 26th when my AF started. On the 28th I woke up with a really bad migraine. Neither the migraine nor AF have gone away yet. He gave me a shot of Demerol which did nothing except make me sleepy (at least I'm pain free while napping). Haven't taken the bcp since Sunday night. Hopefully my body adjusts back soon. *sigh*


I hope everyone else is doing well. Its very very cold here. We are celebrating because we got into the double digits today. LOL

Heather,

I had to go off bc pills because they gave me migranes too. I have had migranes in the distant past (my family has a history) and stress makes them worse!

I started on bc pills in July/August 2005, started having headaches within a couple of month. I thought it was stress so I didn't think anything of it. In May 2006, Dr put me on amitriptyline for the migranes. They did stop with this med, but in early fall I read somewhere that people with migranes (especially people who get auras with their migranes - like I do) should not be on bc pills as it increases their risk for blood clots/strokes. So I stopped the bc pills in September and the migrane meds in October/November.

I am now migrane free and bc free LOL!!
