Hello!
I understand your concern.
In this situation I think that you should first exclude a possible pregnancy. Headaches are not very typical of a pregnancy, but may be related to hormone imbalances.
Pregnancy tests are not very sensitive or specific.
I would recommend to have an ultrasound from your gynecologist to exclude this. A blood analysis for inflammation or chronic anemia would be necessary.
Hope to have been helpful!
