When I was about 11 I started to get migraines. It was the kind of migraine that had an aura. They were really bad, however I found out what caused them, stress and chocolate. So I learned to control my stress and I have stayed away from chocolate. It has been almost 3 years since my last migraine. Now I want to get on birth control and my doctors are telling me I can’t because I have had migraines with auras, even though I don’t get them now. My one doctor put me on the mini pill, however my periods have been lasting two weeks instead of just 3 to 4 days. My cramps are getting worse and my doctor is telling me there isn’t any other option except for the depo shot. I do not want to get on the depo shot because of all the horrible side effects. All I want is a safe birth control to take to be safe and to control my period. Does anyone have any other options that I could try?
