Thought I'd get off my butt and let you guys know what was happening with my headaches. I stayed on the birth control pills and was fairly fine u ntil I started coming up on mid-cycle (around day 10 or 11) and then the headache started to re-appear. Same pain starting at the base of my sckull and trying to move upwards. I got pissed and imeadiatly stopped taking the BC pills and the headache went away. Everything would be a ll peachy except now I'm back to the reason why I went on the Pill in the first place. Bad cramps and backache with Ovulation. Starting about day 13 (I've been having long cycles cause I'm still nursing) I got the backache and cramps, followed by more ovualtion muccus than any one person needs in their lifetime :-(.
The cramps are more of a horrible dull ache that feels better with heat and pressure but worsee with moving around. If I can laay still with a hot water bottle under me I can almost make them stop. Once I get up the backache comes, the cramping starts and I get to slog around in soggy underwear. The muccus is so heavy that I've really got to use a pad and I'm using almost as many as I do with my period (which BTW I dont usually have cramps with). This lasts usually 5-6 days.
So now my head doesnt hurt but I've got this to deal with and neither is desirable. There's got to be some compromise!
