Does anyone get pulse headaches from provera (progesterone)?

I have always been a headache sufferer, have sinus issues and allergies.
I also have severe anxiety which can contribute to much more headaches. I have PCOS so I have irregular periods so my endocrinologist gave me 10 mg provera (progesterone) to take to bring on period. It worked a week later and then towards end of period started having this pulse on one side of my head for the past 5 days.
In general when I get headaches many times it is a pulse on that same side of the head but usually doesnt last this long. Is it because I took the progesterone?
I did have this type of headache in the past as Ive mentioned but normally last 3 days the most and sometimes were a couple days before period. thats why I am thinking it has to do with the progesterone, unless its the extra tension I have while struggling with anxiety and depression right now.
FYI this is my second time taking provera but last time i took 5 mg and then it took two weeks for period to come so this time around she gave me 10 mg.
