Non Stop Headaches

Has anyone else experienced this early on in the pregnancy?

I'm 13 weeks and I've been having hadaches for the past 2 weeks already, sometimes they last 3 days in a row, then I get one day break and then it's back on.  Dr said that I can use regular strengh tylenol, but I try not to hold out as long as I can without taking the meds.  I'm not even sure how often I can take it.  
Could it be pregnancy related?

Any advice?
Thanks.

Hi,
  I'm 14 wks and 4 dys.  I'm going for my next and last u/s in two weeks.  I wanted to go sooner, but the dr said he won't do another one after this.  So, I decided to wait a little until my chances of finding out for sure are better.  Keep your fingers crossed for me, although a boy would be just as wonderful.

I don't remember the headaches from my previous pregnancies but then again that was a long time ago. I am finding there is much I don't remember because I never thought I would ever have another baby.
I also do not believe that higher estrogen levels is indicative of a girl baby. The headaches do not affect all pregnancies as most of us know that one pregnancy to another can be very different regardless of  the sex. My headaches lasted a couple weeks and now they are gone. I used Tylenol to get through them but nothing else really helped.
I had an ultrasound at 15 weeks and was unable to tell the sex. I was so hoping to find out something but didn't. I am now hoping for next month. I read that the sex can be determined at 16-17 wks if the baby cooperates.

I am hoping for at least one girl.  I'm pg w/ twins.  But I also heard that if your morning sickness is bad then that could mean a girl.  I had no morning sickness.  Somehow I'm convinced that I'm having 2 boys.  My MIL has been saying that since we found out it's twins.  I hope we can find out at my next appt at 15 weeks.

When will you find out?

With elevated estrogen levels, could that mean we're having a girl?  I've had killer head aches on and off, too, but didn't for my two boys.  (I'm hoping for a girl, can you tell?)

It is pregnancy related.....its caused from elevated estrogen levels. As for how often to take the Tylenol read the directions on the bottle. More than that is not good for your liver. They will hopefully go away soon.
