I’m having migraines after my period, not before. What does this mean?

If the migraine occurs after the period, this indicates you are still estrogen dominant and that you have yet to realise the full benefits of progesterone therapy. We suggest you take shorter breaks rather than start day 12. Instead start day 5 for a few months and assess your periods, then extend your breaks as your headaches lessen.

Charting will help you identify triggers, recognise when migraines and headaches are likely to occur so cream dosage can be increased prior to the onset. Women have found that if they increase their progesterone dosage prior to their periods, particularly if this is when their migraines occur, pain can be managed without the need for pharmaceutical pain killers.

We have one particular case that comes to mind. Susan reported debilitating migraines 3 days after her period started. She was a 28 day cycle. Using personal charts to aid us, we discovered that in actual fact she continued to be progesterone deficient despite applying cream from day 12 to 26 over 4 months. Susan wasn’t seeing any results.

It was obvious that her body had not replenished or sustained its stores of progesterone. Of note was her history of heavy analgesic and substance use, her considerable intake of alcohol and nicotine. We found the way around this particular case was to encourage very short breaks from cream each month. Stop using progesterone cream for only 5 days instead of 11. Susan followed our suggestion, taking 32mg at the beginning of the month increasing dosage to 64mg just prior to her period. After a few months we began to see results, and Susan was then in a position to wean back accordingly.

We also suggested Susan go on a liver work program to allow her liver to function more adequately thus allowing her body to utilise progesterone more effectively. After a liver detox and weight loss program, and eating the right foods, Susan was able to resume day 12-26 within a 4 month period. This was brought about as a result of reducing her estrogen dominance naturally, thereby reducing the need to administer high levels of progesterone dose to oppose (which can render progesterone ineffective if used long term without addressing the underlying problems).

Progesterone & Migraine Headaches

Over half of women with migraine report having them right before, during, or after their period. Others get them for the first time when taking birth control pills. And some women start getting them when they enter menopause. This self-help user guide explains what causes migraine headaches, how to use progesterone to find long term relief, and then steps you through cream dosage & usage techniques.
