I just stopped taking birth control pills after being on them for 10 years. Since I stopped I have had a headache that won't seem to go away?? Is this a normal side effect??

I am having this same issue. Been on a progestrone only pill for two years, just stopped, now nonstop headaches. I've been on other b/c in years past and never had this problem. Also, two neg. preg. tests but no period, 10 days late. Hope someone has some info.

Thanks and Good Luck!

Not sure if either of you have found an answer to the headaches associated with stopping birth control, but if you do would you post the answer? The same thing is happening with me. I'm 27 now and have been on birth control for 11 years now. I took Depo for about 8-9 years and never had a period, then switched to Yasmin and took that for 2 years skipping the placebo week so that I never had a period. January of this year, I started taking the placebo week of the Yasmin so that I could get my period back and in May I stopped taking the Yasmin all together as my husband and I are going to start trying to get pregnant. For the last 2 months, I have had almost a constant headache. It's there in the morning, and there almost every night. I can take Tylenol to get rid of it, but it comes back every morning/night.

I went to the doctor today for this headache i've had for nine days straight now. It comes at night and lasts til morning, and seems to go away during the day time. Coincidently, I stopped birth control exactly nine days ago. Not by choice or for any reason, I just sort of put it aside not thinking about starting my new pack (holidays and all). Had I known I would end up with a pain like this, I would have never been so careless to forget about taking them.

I was expecting the doctor to order a cat-scan, due to how much pain I have been in, and she was about to until I told her about how I carelessly quit taking my BCP. She then told me it was probaly from a hormone withdraw. I plan to start back up when I get my next period, but now am scared to death to stop taking them ever again, like when I plan on getting pregnant! So now what?
