My experience-Questions for people with menstrual migraines who have tried BC or other treatments

---

Ok I’ve seen/participated in lots of discussion around this topic. I was considering starting birth control and finally have. The first gynecologist recommended Daysee, a combination birth control. The second (insurance change) recommended Slynd, a progesterone only one. I started it 2 weeks ago and I think I’ve been having more migraines. I had a really awful one last night and then had some spotting today- which is around the time I normally would have gotten my period off of BC. Also having some other of my common PMS side effects.

A quick side- I’ve been really curious about if there’s any other options in addressing hormonal migraines that isn’t standard birth control. Would love to hear if anyone has had any other treatment options.

I’d also love to hear from people that have tried each type of birth control, their experiences, if one helped over the other. If anyone stuck out the having increased migraines when starting and whether it got better with time. My first Gyno said things like the hormonal implants don’t help with menstrual migraines, so I’m curious about other peoples experiences with that too. I’m kind of lost on next steps. I’ll talk to my Gyno, but really value real life experience as a factor ❤️
