I have been having a HORRIBLE migraine for the last 2 days... nothing seems to work! I have read everyone elses posts about and I tried Tylenol, Midol, Tylenol cold and sinus, and ibuprofen. I was just wondering if migraines is a symptom of pregnancy? My husband and I have been trying to concieve for almost a year now... I dont want to get my hopes up but it seems like it will never happen. Does my have anything to do with the possibility of being pregnant? I am due to O on dec2 and we are counting down the days till I can test... Can anyone help?

I get migrains before O so it can be from lots of things.  Try excedrine migraine the are great

Headaches are a sign of pregnancy resulting from the increased amount of hormones your body is now producing, but to be on the safe side if you think you are pregnant dont take anything but Tylenol.  I'm almost 12weeks and I'm suffering from pretty bad migraines myself.  My OB wont even prescribe me anything until I'm well off into my 3rd month.  So basically I have to keep very cold compresses over my eyes and turn off all of the lights around me.  I try to drink plenty of water but during the migraines water tends to make me nauseated.  Unfortunately if you are pregnant there isnt much you can do in the early stage but kind of suffer through them.

Girls, I am having that same problem. I have it bad with every pregnancy. I am just about 7 weeks now, but the doctor did give me a prescription for something that does work. Mucinex. Weird huh? But it does certainly help with the headaches.

Wow.... Mucinex for a headache??? That is weird! I thought that was only for nasal congestion and stuff?? I've got some at home... I'll take some once I get there! Thanks!

Yep thats what I thought, She prescribed it to me for frontal headaches. Ive been using it since the 16th. its 600 mg, every 6 hours as needed. It may cause you to have a leaky nose, lol but I rather that then the horrible headaches, ya know?
