I started getting bad headaches which were possibly migraines (never had migraines before so I don't really know if they were or not but my gynaecologist thought they were from how I described them) within the first month on the patch (so same hormone as pill but the patch form). Gynaecologist took me off them when I told her because of the stroke risk.

I was on the pill and started getting migraines a few months in, they would start with what seemed like looking through water (only way I can describe it), was taken off them by the GP because of stroke risk. Have been on the coil since, no issues.

I started getting non stop yeast infections within about 3 months. I stopped taking it completely because of it.
