Combined pill and migraines

31 replies

Can someone please reassure me that it is very dangerous to take the combined pill if you get aura migraines as after years of taking it with no problems I’ve just been taken off it as I’ve had 2 migraines in 2 months
I’m ashamed to say I threw at absolute fit in the doctors (with myself not the doctor) as if I just hadn’t mentioned it it’d be fine
But now I’ve got the mini pill which I know from past experience causes me to bleed continuously.
I refuse to try the coil as it nearly killed my Aunty
I’m so gutted I cried all the way home
I’ll add the pill was also the only thing that cleared my horrendous acne too
I’m so so so angry with myself

You're me op. I came off it and have been having natural periods since (fortunately it avoided my wedding and my skin was great!) but considering cerazette now. How's it going?

I’m bleeding quite heavily now

As your period or just random bleeding?

Random . I finished my actual period just 1.5 weeks ago

Have you thought about just having a few natural periods and using natural cycles? You may be pleasantly surprised about how easy your periods are. Then if you're due on over your wedding you could always take a short course of norethisterone.
