I got a vasectomy a few years back so we don't worry about that anymore.

I've had CH before the pill, during the pill, and looong after the pill.
I hate the pill. I knew a girl who died at 22 years old with blood clots in her brain. The only risk factor they could come up with was the pill.

Hey Ree,
Started on the pill at 18 but stopped around 19 due to side effects - headaches! - think the ch's around 20-21 ??(36 now). I have wondered about this myself... fine during pregnancy!??

I have CH and enjoy Oral.
Have enjoyed Oral prior to recognizing any clear cut cycles of CH.
May have had CH in my younger years prior to giving or receiving Oral.
Diagnosed last year with having CH after a decade of misdiagnoses and still having Oral.
Turned Chronic in March and still partake in Oral.
Will continue to have CH throughout my life and will not let it take over!!! This will not effect my use of Oral!
I have to live!

Or, to put the question another way
How many women suffering with CH noticed they starting stopped having CH after starting oral contraceptives?
And if they did stop would the pill help a male clusterhead?

Back when on the pill - no clusters.
Stopped the pill after a tubal ligation - still no clusters.
First clusters during premenopause. Now post-menopause and still having clusters.
No connection that I can see.

In my early 20's I stopped taking the pill when I was told about the meegraine side effects and that because of my HA I was a higher candidate for a stroke if I took them. haven't taken them since. Not diagnosed CH at that time.

I've noticed there seems to be a helluva lot of women on these boards seeing as CH is suppposed to be such a primarily male condition.

Definately not fact, only speculation. I think many women have been misdiagnosed and are finally getting the correct diagnosis due to more information. The old books need to be rewritten IMHO.

Never had any headaches until started the pill.
they were more like migraines once a month...
then, when 'i stopped the pill....
I mutated into the CH....
first cycle was only about a week long,
pain levels at a 4 ...and only 4 headaches
then it mutated....again and again....
not sure if the hypothalamus was to blame, and
the pill just made things more messed up...
jury is still out..but it definitely messed up hormones.

EE,
You should be spanked!
On the other hand, you might like that as much as oral!

Maybe you need to take your head out of your ass, reading your colon will not keep you updated on CH
That ones for you, Mel

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Its such a shame that on any message board, especially one claiming to offer support to people, that you will also find one or two with an attitude problem

Kevin wind your neck in mate, you won't find anyone here more supportive than Jonny or anyone who has helped more ch'ers and you'll find a good 50/50 men women split here too.. and you do not want to piss the girls off!!
Like Mel says, that is a very old and very outdated statement going back to the days when (male) doctors blamed everything women suffered on hormones and hysteria.

The tone of my post must have been mis-understood. I was not trying to upset the girls at all. I was just making an observation. I think Mel took it in the inocuous way it was intended.
Excuse me for reacting if someone asks me to take my 'head out of my ass.'
Plus my head has just exploded here as I sit at work - I'm not having a great morning.
