Hi Mel, I have stage IV endo and was diagnosed in Sept. 07. I had suffered from migraines that seemed to go with my cycle since I was a teenager. Days 1-3 were always the worst. Usually, they were on the left side as well. I tried so many things to get rid of them, but found that Imitrex was the only thing that worked. Anyways, when I went off of the pill two years ago, they pretty much stopped. I still get them every once and awhile, but it's way better than it used to be. Only a couple times a year now compared with a couple times a month. So I don't know if my endo and headaches were related, but I definitely think the birth control was causing them. I hope you can find something that works for you. My headaches always made me sooo miserable... Ally
