A member asked:

Are menstrual migranes a side effect of loestrin 24?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Menstrual migraine: Menstrual migraine is precipitated by the drop in estrogen after finishing the last active birth control pill. This can occur with any pill not just loestrin 24. Can avoid this by taking a continuous pill.
