i dont know if its the pill or what..

[Jahzara]

what other options are their that dont cause this kind of reaction? ive only been on it for 2 weeks and cant stay on it much longer i dont think..

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.

Abstinence

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.
