So as I stated yesterday that I most likely would do, I have already edited the posted program a bit. I changed my lowest dose to during my period and then a regular dose thoughout the month with the exception of a few days of none for ovulation. I may or may not leave it this way.
I'm not sure if the 50mg during my period will be enough to keep enough estrogen in my system to prevent migraines or not. While it is the lowest estrogen point for women in their cycle for me, it takes me so low I can barely function. I get facial pressure, dizziness migraine and confusion from the pain. Basically I can't understand what someones saying to me during a migraine just because my brain is too busy registering the pain.
I have found some relief from this in the last few months with estriol cream. It was almost completely gone while on the constant bcp which I can no longer take. Once my period starts if the 50 doesn't cut it, I will bump it up to 100 and hope that works.
