It is so good to know that someone else is having the same exact problem as I am. I have three kids and never had a migraine while pregnant, however, since my last child who is now almost four, I have had terrible migraines. My doctor put me on Mircette, which he thought would help, but I think they made my migraines worse!! I always get a migraine with my period, and sometimes in between. It is terrible!! I am currently prescribed Amerge for migraine relief, which helps sometimes. Please let me know what you find out with your doctor. You can email me if you would like, since I am not good at checking with postings.
