Common Questions and Answers about Mircette and migraines

mircette

Avatar m tn For the past 10 days I have had light brown discharge non-stop, bloating, and bad stomach cramps. I was on Azurette birth control for about a year and then I switched to Mircette(this is my first pack); so I was wondering if the switch could have anything to do with it even though they are basically the same birth control. I am due for my period on Tuesday the 29th. I am very confused as to why this is happening so I'm wondering if you have any ideas or explanations!
525501 tn?1212432217 Mircette contains a combination of female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). Mircette also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus." sorry if I'm spamming a bit... I'm gonna go to be now, it's 2 hrs past my normal bedtime anyways....
405614 tn?1329144114 I had maybe 5 migraines until my mid-thirties, then started getting menstrual migraines every few months. I started taking Premarin on my placebo days on my Mircette , and no more migraines, well maybe a few, but not many. I saw an ophthamologist on the 18th; he said my optic nerves looked very healthy, and that the floaters that suddenly appeared were most likely from the pressure change from the LP and CSF leak.
Avatar f tn I work in the medical field yet I have been blind to my own symptoms. I am 47 and on Mircette for birth control and as a prophylactic for migraines - so I do not have a period. For the past three months or so I have been waking at 3am (despite 100 mg Trazadone that had been working fairly for several years) soaked in sweat. Sorry for the run-on sentence. Anyway, I attributed this to stress and a worsening of my Anxiety NOS.
Avatar f tn All day I had maybe an equivalent to about 5 spots of pink and brown when I wipe and on a liner. Well today I wiped this morning and there was a little dot of pink/maybe red and that's it. I have nothing on my liner to care about. Do you think my body is adjusting to the low dose eventhough I was just on it the end of March (Loestrin 24) and April (Ortho Lo)? I'm confused and don't know if I should POAS.
Avatar f tn My husband and I have had unprotected sex and for the past 2 weeks I have had tender/swollen breast, went up almost a cup size, very bloated, unexpected nausea that comes and goes. Since Friday I have had very light cramping and pelvic pressure that comes and goes, when I move around they subside. This might sound gross but around 6/25 or so when I woke up I was very wet. I had sex around this time now I dont know if that was me ovulating or what. HPT's negative, maybe it is to soon.
Avatar f tn I have so many of the symptoms (pelvic, lower back and abdominal pain, bowel/gastro issues, horrible cramps, etc.). I am 39, but believe that BCP's helped suppress some of my symptoms for years until I had my last child (I was diagnosed about 10 years ago with IBS). I decided to get off BCPs and since, have been feeling awful. I am back on the pill (continuous Mircette), but still do not feel well.
Avatar f tn Hi, are you on birth control? I was on Mircette to regulate my cycle and because it wasn't "strong enough" I spotted mid cycle. I also spotted on the Depo shot so it could be birth control. You are not pregnant from giving a hand job.. unless you took the semen and inserted it into your vagina which I doubt you did. If you did have sex and just don't want to say.. then you could be pregnant and the spotting could be implantation bleeding.
Avatar f tn For the migraines try a powder magnesium citrate. It works wonders for me and I got the migraines before and during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Migraines are a mystery but they do cause all the symptoms you relate in your complaint. Sometimes bloodpressure medication can alleviate migraines. I would see a doctor and try bloodpressure meds. If that doesn't help alleviate some of your symptoms there are some new pain med's that are effective in treating migraines but if used daily could cause liver or kidney damage after a long period of time. Sometimes migraines are caused by dehydration.
1347993 tn?1276613509 I'm 21 and have had migraines since i was 8, but it seems that my migraines have been getting worse over the last few years. I have been having blackout spells, where i just blackout for 10 minutes and even sometimes up to an hour. I've done research on migraines but haven't been able to figure out if the blackouts are tied to my migraines or not.
Avatar n tn The migraines have not stopped since being off accutane and she now is chronically having migraines that wont go away. I am convinced that Accutane has caused this.
1705896 tn?1314811839 Hi, How are you? Migraines can indeed be triggered or associated with hormonal changes during menstruation, pregnancy and even intake of oral contraceptive pills. This can be managed with rest, ice packs, and prescription medications. Overuse of over-the-counter pain medications may lead to rebound headaches. It is best that you see your doctor for proper management. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn i seem to have mostly visual problems and some pain with my migraines.. my perception definately feels off and my eye gets really low on the right side of my head.. i was wondering .. does it make a difference in a dignoses with it being on one side of my head mostly?? and i seem to be so depressed ever since these symptoms started... i have been on all the antidepressents in the world..is it normal to have depression with migraines when they seem to be constant??
764912 tn?1322711843 Seasonal allergies really seem to contribute my migraines. Extreme heat can also trigger my migraines. Also, many summer activities such as mountain climbing/hiking or sitting/lying around in the sun for too long can trigger my migraines or make them worse. When it goes from heat to rain, that almost always triggers a migraine for me, and that can happen quite a bit around where I live.
Avatar f tn On my last admission to hospital I had a new nurse who has decided that I am not to no longer be using this drug for migraines and has made it very hard for me when i have a bad flare up.There are times with my headaches I am admitted to hospital as my right side loses all the feeling in it,and I recieve my pain control by injection until the feeling returns. This is the treatment plan by three neurologists,and I wonder what your out look on this would be.
Avatar f tn I am a 36 yo female with chronic migraines (nothing seems to help). After 2 ablation proceedures on my heart, I am waiting for a 3rd. I'm still going into afib and a flutter regularly. I have palpitations constantly. I have never heard of Raynauds but do complain about circulation in my hands and feet. I was seeing a chronic pain specialist for my migraines and she feels the my heart condition, problem with circulation in hands and feet, and migraines are linked.

Avatar f tn I'm 11 wks and 5days and I've been having frequent headaches and even migraines. I was in the emergency room because of a migraine, I was bearly coherent. Does anyone else ever get this bad?
Avatar f tn Hello I have had migraines and epilepsy from the age of 2. I find that I get migraines a week before my periods and the first few days. Stress, emotion and lack of sleep triggers migraines and seizures. Since I was put on keppra and tegretol 2003 I don't have so much seizures anymore. I also fell pregnant which I had less seizures and migraines. My girl has turned out fine. I could not ask any better because it took the depression away. I hope you get better.
Avatar f tn I have a bulging disk at C-3 and loss of curvature of my neck, and muscle spasms, these headaches all started after the last rear end collison that I had, had been in 2 before this time. Anyway, I have neck and shoulder pain almost on a daily basis, and notice that when my neck is bothering me I get the tingle in my jaw/face, and also in the upper part of my legs, no numbness. I have had 2 brain MRIs, and there is no lesions. Normal. My questions are....
337492 tn?1212458836 I have already been on the Lithium for a year and it is helping me. I found, per web searching, that some people get migraines from wellbutrin. Is that true? I am so hopeful because I used wellbutrin in my past and it was wonderful for me. I was at the denial stage of my illness and quit taking it, but now I understand I need my medication to live a normal life. I was also having terrible headaches then and I have them better under control due to my taking magnesium daily.
Avatar n tn Ask your doctor for Imitrex 100mg, is not narcotic, non addictive and it takes away your migraine right away. I'm also a migraine surferer and have tried a lot of medications and Imitrex works wonders.
