Headache after stopping progesterone

[cvaeh]

Hi,
I stopped taking my progesterone and estrogen on Friday when I was 12 weeks 5 days pregnant. The day after I stopped I got a headache and have been getting them since. Is this normal? I was on a high dose as it was donor egg fet so 3 cyclogest and one lubion. Also 10mg of estrogen. Thanks in advance xx

Sorry, I don't know if it's to be expected but I'd assume it would be. If you were on a high dose, you'd have had a drop in hormones after stopping, like you would get before a period, which can also cause headaches. Did you phase your progesterone out? If you're at all concerned, I'd check with your doc.
