Headache possible hormone caused vent

I have a horrible headache.  dammit... ok I had a headache last Friday that lasted until Sunday, the kind that hurts with movement, lights, etc.  Yes a migraine.  Felt pretty good yesterday and now it is back.  The only thing I can contribute it to is hormones.  I am so sad bc there is nothing I can take that helps and laying down in a quiet, cool, dark room (even though that hurts too) is impossible as I am at work and cannot leave..and I just threw up the ibuprofen I just took.

  • Migraines are the absolute worst. especially when you can't take anything. Does caffeine help for you? During pregnancy I would have a cup of coffee with the ibuprofen, and that would help take the edge off.

    I hope this one breaks for you soon.

  • If you have chronic ones talk to your dr about imitrex. It is the only thing that helps me. Not sure if you can take if you are BF though.
  • Thanks @ WoodShopGirl I might look into it.  I took immitrex years ago that's why I think these headaches might be hormone induced because when I had my mirena in I had very infrequent headaches and this is really too much!  I started my 1st pp cycle last Monday so I'm hoping as  my hormones regulate my headaches dimenish... I do bf 2-3 x a day although over the weekends it is more frequent as I'm with lo all day. 

    rockopera  I am definitely a coffee/caffeine drinker!  I am feeling a little better after lunch which included a Diet Coke... I'm just trying not to overdue it too because that is even worse.
