Hi BC,

I haven't used that particular pill but when i have been on the pill i have had terrible migraines and been very moody. After my last m/c i was put on the mini pill because you aren't meant to have those symptoms -but no - i still had trouble. So i guess the pill isn't for me.

Good luck - it's horrible feeling like that. I definitely wasn't myself

Umm...i was on levlen ed for years (at least 8 years) and i put up with the migraines for that long silly me didnt bother to do anything about it....

Maybe if you can hold out for one cycle and see if it's just your body getting used to it ?

The only others forms of contraception i have tried are the Mirena - which i loved once it settled down ( TMI- i bled for ages then once it settled i had nothing at all) so it was great for me in the end - my DH went nuts waiting for it to settle though I have heard of people having trouble with the Mirena though - moods/headaches etc. Having said that alot of people don't have trouble with the pill, yet we have ! So its probably worth asking your Dr about the Mirena ?? Just an idea.

Condoms - we both loathe them...

Sorry i'm not much help - i hope you can find something that works for you !

Hun, big the pill just does not gel with a lot of women- I'm one of them. Sends me nuts, gives me migraines, makes me put on wieght and feel yucky.

have you got a womens health centre near you? They'll be able to talk you through all your different options and find the one that's best. I'm eing fitted for a diaphram on Thursday, it's the only non-hormonal contraceptive i could find.
