Migraine Headaches Associated with PMS and Pregnancy |

Taking Natural Progesterone and avoiding xenoestrogens can lessen migraine headaches tied to menstrual cycles. Seventy percent of women with migraines experience them during their menstrual cycles. Since women make up 75 percent of migraine sufferers, the female hormone estrogen is thought to play a certain role in triggering the condition. Too much estrogen relative to progesterone (estrogen dominance) can lead to the vessels in the brain to dilate. This dilation of vessel in the brain is thought to be related to estrogen dominance. For example, the estrogen in birth control pills can trigger a migraine headache. This is a known listed side effect of birth control pills. Now, recent research since the 1990's has found that some of the 85,000 chemicals in use in the United States also have hormonal effects that happen to imitate estrogen. In other words, chemicals previously thought to be inert, have hormonal effects. These effects are largely unknown and currently unmeasured. 
Now, Time magazine has cited the landmark study of 17,000 girls aged 8. 15%
of these girls are going through early puberty and sprouting breast buds and
pubic hair. The Time magazine cover story, October 30, 2000, cites that some
chemicals mimic estrogen and blames these chemicals for the early growth
spurt of girls and early puberty.The strategy to get rid of migraine headaches associated with the menstrual cycle is to get rid of the xenoestrogens in your life, AND take Natural Progesterone. These xenoestrogens mimic estrogen and cause bloating and cyclical breast tenderness. Get rid of the chemicals that mimic estrogen and bloating and cyclical breast tenderness stops. These xenoestrogens are fat soluble and are stored in the body fat. Sometimes it takes years to get rid of these chemicals out of the body fat. However, the elimination of these fat soluble xenoestrogens may be speeded up by sauna and exercise that heats up the body so you sweat. Taking Natural Progesterone in the mean time will oppose estrogen and make you feel better reducing or eliminating the bloating and cyclical breast tenderness. Migraines sometimes becomes worse in the first trimester of pregnancy, but many women are migraine-free later in their pregnancy. Natural progesterone is the hormone of pregnancy. "Pro" means "for and "gesterone" refers to "gestation." During a women's normal menstrual cycle, the body produces 20 mg/day. At the last term of prgenancy, her body produces 400 mg/day of nautural progesterone. If your blood sugar is not steady and goes extremely up and down, this will also trigger a migraine headache. The extreme varying of blood sugar causes a corresponding increase and decrese in blood insulin. The wide varying of blood insulin causes the release of epinephrine (adrenaline) and norephineprine (noradrenaline). The adrenaline and noradrenaline release causes the vessels in your brain to contract and expand. The vessels contracting and expanding is implicated in causing a migraine headache.
