A member asked:

I get thunder clap headaches from time to time could this be my body adjusting to birth control?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Headaches on OCP's: Getting severe sudden headaches while on oral birth control is potentially worrisome. Do not think if it as being due to your body getting used to the ocp's. You should return to your doctor to discuss this, as it may mean that you should not be taking ocp's.
