This is defintitely me.

My GP has just put me on to Cafergot, which is a hormone based thing to increase estrogen levels. I am meant to take 2 on the onset of the migraine, and then 1 half hourly up to the maximum of 6. I have just had AF arrive but I think I was too late in taking the tablets as I actually thought I was heat stressed at first so was just trying to take panadol and keep cool.

I was told it is the sudden drop of estrogen/progesterone that causes the Migraines. I too never suffered while pregnant. I will try the tablets again next month and if still no good then my GP is putting me onto Imigrain as I have done all the other stuff already like, not taking the pill, missing periods, having my pill changed to higher/lower dosages etc etc.

I have been getting migraines with AF for at least 12/13 years.

Love
