Do your migraines change around your period, during pregnancy, postpartum, or through menopause?

In this episode of the Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves and Dr. Sarah Thomas break down how female hormone changes can impact headaches and migraines across different stages of life.

They explain why estrogen fluctuations can lower your threshold for pain, why symptoms often worsen around your period or perimenopause, and why pregnancy may improve migraines for some women but worsen them for others.

You’ll learn:

  •  Why migraines often change with your cycle 
  •  How estrogen affects headache sensitivity 
  •  Why puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause matter 
  •  How birth control can either help or worsen headaches 
  •  Why hormones may be a trigger—but not the root cause 

If you’ve noticed your migraines shifting with hormonal changes, this episode will help you better understand what’s happening and what you can do next.
