Migraines can kiss my behind is all I want to say. I've had a monster one for the last few days from my hormones dropping after a failed injectibles cycle, and the secretary at my neurologist's office refused to let me have Fioricet after hearing that I was TTC. "Oh honey you can't have caffeine when you're pregnant." When I'm in the middle of AF and having nightmares about all the pigment draining from my eyeballs because of the pressure in my head I think I can have some caffeine!

Amen, sista. I'm 14 weeks and have the mother of tension headaches that has lasted about 3 days now. They gave me Midrin, and I've been drinking as much soda as I freaking want in an attempt to get this damn thing to go away. I hate headaches!!!! Hope you feel better soon!!

@spaniellove: that's ridiculous. My cousin had migraines throughout her pregnancy and would have been bedridden constantly if they hadn't let her take fioricet.
ETA: and wouldn't it be the barbituate in fioricet that would be bad for TTC-ing, not caffeine? Fioricet's tylenol, caffeine and a mild barbituate...

Ugh I'm so sorry! I get really bad migraines that are definitely hormone related-- lucky for me the worst of them were as I was coming off the pill but before TTC so I could take whatever the hell I wanted to throw at them! Have you tried taking Tylenol and washing it down with a big coke for the caffeine? And laying in a dark room with an ice pack on the back of your neck? I'm guessing if you had it three days, you did already, but just in case.
I hope it goes away soon. Migraines really just suck, a lot! -
Weird, they gave me fioricet when I was pregnant. The caffeine ended up making me have a weird racing heart thing so I switched to just Tylenol and codine, no caffeine. But I was under the impression that fioricet was normal for migraines in pregnancy.
Also, my ob told me to continue my migraine meds that I take as needed until I got my bfp when I was TTC.
Hope youre feeling better!
