Re: [Birth Control] Birth control and Migraines

Kathy, talk to your doctor about this option. Since you cannot take hormone birth control, maybe your doctor can work out something in a meeting with someone from your insurance company, since medically you can't take a hormonal birth control--they might just cover it. It is possible to have a meeting set up with your doctor and the insurance company. If this doesn't work, talk to your doctor about a possible payment plan to pay for one out of pocket. Good luck!
