Migraine headaches are the most common type of vascular headache in women.
The are usually on one side of the head and cause loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. They sometimes begin with an aura. In my experience I find migraine headaches more common in women with a history of endometriosis, mitral valve prolapse, infertility, IVF failures and even recurrent pregnancy losses. Some women with this constellation of symptoms also have thyroid problems discussed elsewhere on this web site. Women who are infertile and who experience migraine headaches should consider autoimmune testing to determine if this is just one of the constellation of autoimmune symptoms that can also cause infertility, implantation failures and recurrent pregnancy losses.
