Hi there I am having migraines for at least a week after my period but most times up to two weeks. Does anyone have the same problem?

I get this as well though I also have a cyst on the brain which causes migranes however. I seem to get them much more frequently around the time of my period.

I used togetthem when on a traditional 28 day birth control pill. They have faded since I switched to a 21 day cycle, with no mentruation. I do still get sugarheadaches.

Check with your gyno... It may be fluctuations of hor ones during the cycle.

I used to get 2 migraines a month. One right before my period and one during. They stopped a menopause.

How is your menstrual cycle? Is it heavy, light, medium? I had migraines with my cycles, however, when I found out I am a diabetic I went for some dietician classes. The teacher asked me about my cycles, which has always been heavy as long as I can remember. I told her the other symptoms I had, migraines, cramping, more. She said it sounded as if I had PCOS and should be checked by my gyn. It turned out I did have PCOS and with my birth control, it helped even out my cycles, flow rate, regulate them. I take it for medical reasons.
