Another problem I have been having is migraines. I was so sure that going off of birth control would get rid of them and it didn't. My migraine medicine works well, but I cannot take it if I become pregnant. Nothing else works for the migraines either. Any migraine sufferers out there who have been or are pregnant? What can be done to treat them? Will I be able to carry a baby? Will I have a migraine for 9 months if I can't take my medicine?

I do take Imitrex for my migraines and it works great for me...but I cannot take it when I am pregnant. I have been to a neurologist and she put me ona prevenative once and it made me feel worse. I am hesitant to try prevenatives again due to TTC. Kudos to you for getting yours under control! I have heard that a lot of people don't get migraines while they are pregnant, but I figure I would be the unlucky one who does. It is better for me to find out what to do in case I do get one while pregnant.
