Headaches after stopping the use of Birth Control?
About two weeks ago, I stopped taking birth control (ortho novum 1/35). I had been taking it for 10 years, and my OBGYN thought it would be a good idea to get off the pill as the hormone level between the normal pill and sugar pill was a very drastic drop. Plus, my husband and I want to start trying in March/April. Ever since stopping the BC, I've noticed I've had really bad headaches. They come and go and are mainly in my temples and across my forehead. I've also noticed my blood pressure seems to be a little as well. Is this normal?

A drop in estrogen levels can absolutely trigger migraine symptoms, yes.
It's not likely to be anything super deadly but I would still talk to your doctor about it. They might be able to suggest something to help with the pain.

IT happened to me, it is a drop in hormone levels and will pass when your body readjusts itself.
I also got them in the placedo week.
