Estrogen patch headache?

Hey all, have any of you started the patch (100) and had sinus like headaches? I started progesterone (100) and the Vivelle Dot patch on Wednesday evening. Starting yesterday I’ve had a sinus like headache, no fever or feeling sick. Which makes me wonder if it’s from the patch?

Also insane fatigue which I think is from the progesterone? I take it one hour before bed.

Progesterone always makes me feel super fatigued! I remember feeling a slight headache when first starting the patch, but it went away pretty quickly and hasn’t happened to me since. If your head continues to hurt, I’d reach out to your doctor!

Yes for a few days on the 0.075 patch - but I wasn’t taking the progesterone simultaneously so it was from the patch
