I was likely to have auras and seizures when I would ovulate (2 weeks in), and then just before mine. The science says that a drop in estrogen levels can be a factor, and make women more prone to seizures. Fortunately menopause (another causative factor) is over for me.
I hope I helped in some way, and just know you’re not alone in this situation! Good luck and stay healthy and seizure free!

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I have small jerks during my cycle. I talked with my neurologist and she gave me a few rescue meds (dissolvable clonozapam tablets). She told me to use them to prevent/stop the jerking. I also feel weak the entire time. I try my best to rest the entire cycle.
