Birth Control Pills for migraine sufferers?
I have been off BCP for 4 years ( I was having babies). I get numerous migraines throughout the month including menstrual migraines. When I was taking the Pill , Ortho Tri Cyclen, my migraines would be worse. I don't want an IUD or the Ring. Anyone with migraines take a Pill that does not make them worse. I'll be going to the doctor in a few weeks to discuss this as well.
Re: Birth Control Pills for migraine sufferers?
I've suffered from headaches and migraines for years and Ortho Tri made it so much worse!!
So after having LO I discussed this with my gyno and he recommended I go on low estrogen pill. We talked a while about it because there were different options (levels of estrogen) and generic vs. brand. I'm not at home and honestly I forgot the exact pill I started....but it's been great and has not caused any issues!
I would talk to your doc and the different low estrogen pill options.
Little sister, Miss Victoria Patience, is on her way!
