I used to get migraines on a regular basis when I was younger. My aunt on my mom's side got them, and my grandma on my dad's side gets them, so I get them from both sides.
I know one of the side effects of the pill is migraines...and I've been feeling the "twinge" above my left eye, where I used to get them. I'm on the generic form of Yaz, the low dose birth control pill. I've only been on it for a little over a week. Has anyone else gotten migraines after starting the pill? I'm so afraid that the twinges will turn into a full blown migraine....for now its not unbearable...but if it sets in, the only thing that helps is sleep in a dark room. I'm telling my boyfriend that I might not be able to stay at his place tonight. (We alternate weekend nights; I stay at his place when I don't have an injection to do.) I hate that I might not be able to stay with him tonight, but the fear of not being at home and having a full-blown migraine attack sucks. Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone else has had experience with migraines and birth control. __________________ |

I had to go off and stay off of every form of the pill. No matter what I tried, I would get horrible migraines almost every day of my period. I would rather deal with the cramps because at least Advil can take those away.

Thanks ladies. Today so far *knock on wood* I haven't had migraine twinges. I haven't had a period yet on it, so I'll see how that goes. Emotionally I've already evened out and that so nice.....so if the migraines continue, I'll have to make a choice.

I know that one of the side effects of the pill is headaches, I did not know that it was migraines. I get horrible migraines around my period. My doctor actually put me on seasonal so I would only have four periods a year. I had to take some form of blockers two weeks before my period (I do not recall the name). I did not have a migraine for the year that I was on the seasonal.
