I’ve found that since having the mirena, I’ve been getting horrendous headaches as well and a lot more regularly than I used to get them. I suffer with headaches anyway, but I think it’s the mirena that made it worse. I don’t know if it’s ‘normal’ as such, but just know that you’re not the only one :)

it is likely due to the change in hormones; I suffer with migraines and they flare up the week before my period - the mirena is releasing a hormone so it could be this xx
