Contraceptive pill

[Fionapa]

Hi all, looking for some advice, I'm taking Norgeston and I'm getting awful migraines lasting 4 days, was on Noriday but felt same.. never know if to have estrogen or progesterone contraceptive when you suffer with migraines? Any advice would be grateful x 🙏

How long have you been on it? I'm on the mini pill and I had a migraine after first taking it (I think it was the trigger), it settled right down quite quickly.

If you are having migraines you shouldn’t take the combined pill - that’s the one with oestrogen- as it’s a risk factor for blood clots and strokes. They will recommend you go onto the mini pill which is progesterone only. (This is what happened to my
Dd).

Been on it 4 months now, was on Noriday for 6 prior

Ok, thank you for fed back. Really appreciate it

I've suffered mingraine which was initiated by pills 20 years ago. Can't remember the name though. When I stopped the mingraines didn't go away to this day. Sad.

They are horrendous, don't get a slightest of headache the rest of month just 4 days a head of period 😥
