Does anyone here suffer from menstrual migraine, particularly with vertigo/dizziness? For the past few months, it seems about every two weeks - usually the week before and the week during my period - I get near constant dizziness. Sometime I'll get a one-sided headache, but not always. I usually often see tiny pinpoints of light now and then too - though they're not always associated with the vertigo or the headache.

About 8 years ago, she underwent a hysterectomy, which she hoped would alleviate her migraine pain since they seemed to be related to her menstrual cycle. However, her migraines persist in a similar pattern occuring almost every month. She is not taking any hormone therapy. I am wondering what could be causing her migraines to continue, and were they even related to her menstrual cycle to begin with? Could her migrains have anything to do with the tubal ligation?

What can I do to help menstrual migraines? Mine have gotten so bad that I have to miss work. Excederin Migraine used to help but it doesn't anymore. They are so painful. I also have gastroparesis and so I don't know what my stomach can tolerate.
If the migraine headaches started after you had your implanon, then this is indeed more likely be the cause. But there is such a thing as menstrual headaches which are migraine-type pain that occurs shortly before, during, or immediately after menstruation and also at mid-cycle at time of ovulation. This is usually caused by variances in estrogen levels. Vasoconstrictors and/or anti-inflammatory drugs taken before and during menstrual period may prevent headaches.

I have a regular period, 28 day cycle, with rarely anything other than mood swings and headaches the 2 or 3 days leading to my period. This month, exactly 1 week ago today, I started having lower abdominal cramps. Mild ones like menstrual cramps, off and on, I was also experiencing some constipation. When I was able to go it would not relieve the cramps. These cramps have been going on for 7 days now and my period isn't due for another 7 days.
Progesterone is elevated in the second half of the menstrual cycle and drops to very low levels right before the pre-menstrual period. In my case Im guessing it is not raising high enough for me. Then it says the problem with hormones during menstruation occurs when progesterone is converted into another hormone called allopregnanolone, which acts like a sedative, or valium or even alcohol. This hormone can make you feel relaxed,reduce anxiety, and eveb reduces seizures.

classic (with aura), common (typically without aura), ocular, opthalmoplegic, basilar artery migraine, carotidynia, menstrual migraines, status migrainosus.

For myself personally, I used to have a debilitating migraine every month at the start of my period, as well as random migraines once every few months triggered by barometric pressure. When I'm on Trinessa (norestimate and ethinyl estradiol) it eliminates the hormonally induced migraines but not the others.
