Can BCP give you headaches?
I've had headaches since I've been on them. I thought it might be b/c work was stressing me but I was off for 3 days and had headaches all weekend.

I get headaches on bcp too. I think it's the added hormones.

YES! I get the worst migraines on BCPs - it felt like my brian was going to explode. My doctors said it is because of the change in hormone levels. I was on ortho tricyclen. Thank goodness I have been off of BCPs for 16+ months.

Ugh! I don't know how long I need to be on them, maybe another week or so. It's so bad. It's LoEstren. I'm going to need a new bottle of Advil soon!

Ohhh LoEstrin def gave me headaches!! I found after the first week or so I "got used" to them.. and the headaches stopped... Then when my estrogen started to go up from stimming for IVF I got them again
It will all be worth it!!!!
