Last month I had read in an article about Menstrual Migraine in Holland & Barrett magazine, that the cause could be the drop in oestrogen as the period is about to begin.
I read around on the net, and discovered that some women have oestrogen patches which they use for about 3 days before and then during their period. However, I was concerned by what I read about the oestrogen/cancer link, and so I decided to look into plant oestrogens instead.
I bought some Red Clover Capsules and some Soya Isoflavones and took them for about a week before my period.
They did not reduce the severity of my Menstrual Migraine unfortunately.
Also, I was very bloated (much more than usual) while taking them and I also experienced hot flushes! Not great, I'm only 34.
I decided not to try them again this month.
Lou.
