Re: [Birth Control] Birth Control Pills and Migraines

Docs reccomend you try a certain pill for 3 months. If the migraines continue after 3 months, go back to your doctor. You might need to change to a lower dose of the pill. I had this problem with all other BCP's and had to swtich to Alesse 28, have been on them for 1 1/2 years and haven't had a single migraine. Best Wishes.
