It may be hormones: There is an abrupt change in your level of hormones around your cycles. This withdrawal of hormones can cause such symptoms as headaches, cramps, and nausea. Birth control can help alleviate these symptoms as well as make your cycles predictable, lighter, and less painful.

Lots of options: Nausea, headaches and cramps are common complaints before, during and sometimes after a period. For some these are pms symptoms. Some have migraines triggered by periods. Schedule a visit to discuss the options. Many benefit from birth control to regulate the hormonal changes that trigger these symptoms.
