Headaches and moving too much qi

My acu had me on a herb mix that contained bluplurum a while back. It gave me a headache so he put me on a different formula that contained dong quai which was bitter but I didn't get a headache. So, I know that headaches and herbs are related.

From a TCM standpoint he told me that bluplurum moves the liver qi, and I have stagnant liver qi, but the problem was that it was moving more liver qi than I had available to move.
I started taking vitex last week, which move the kidney yang and penetrates the liver. I was doing great until yesterday when I got another headache -- same as before, in the front of my forehead. I guess the vitex is moving too much qi as well so I will have to stop and figure out what to do next.

I found this page about headaches and TCM, it might be helpful to you in understanding why one gets headaches - Arterial Hypertension And Traditional Chinese Medicine In China

Progesterone cream and pregnancy/miscarriage

I was on 50mg suppositories twice daily at the start of my pg last year and I stopped all at once when I found out it was a blighted ovum and I didn't even spot -- nothing changed, and my pregnancy sure as heck didn't end. Obviously that is a different situation but it did change my impression of how difficult it was to end a pregnancy.

I looked up a lot to see if there was anyway I could get my body to miscarry and other than practically poisoning myself or giving myself a life-threatening uterine infection there really wasn't much I could do. Really, think about it this way, with all the women wanting to terminate their pregnancies when they don't want them, surely if using and stopping progesterone was an easy way out then lots of people would be doing it and it would likely become a controlled substance. No?
