Am I running out of options?

GP surgery really aren't being helpful here. Have asked for help a few times in the last month and still don't have an answer:

My periods give me migraine. I was put on Carezette in 2015. No problems until Feb / March time. I had a 3 week period which seemed to be heavy and started getting period related migraine again.

Switched to the Depo injection a few weeks later. I'm getting spotting and again, getting migraine.

I spoke to the nurse in June who said it can take time to settle and I should be ok. I'm not. I'm still getting period related migraine.

I feel as though (because of how unhelpful they are) I need to do a bit of research to see what else I can have. I can't have certain contraception due to having migraine.

I was told the coil and implants are options. Are these now my only options?
