    Anyone have experience with migraines and feminizing HRT? Got crushed by one this morning.

    Mine aren't horrible compared to a lot of people, but they've started to get noticeably worse since I began HRT. Apparently they can be caused by drops in estrogen levels, and today was my injection day, so maybe it's related? If it becomes a regular thing I'm probably switching back to a 5-day injection schedule to avoid some fluctuations. I changed it to 6 days because E levels were way higher than necessary, but I could just lower the dose instead.

    Also, I've always seen migraine aura in the same pattern on the left side of my vision since middle school, but sometime after starting HRT I suddenly began to see the aura on the opposite side of my vision instead, which feels incredibly weird.
