none of the responses were pertinent. my insurance doesn't like to pay for migraine meds too expensive. otc 's do not work. since they are related to my period i was wondering if it was possible to continue taking the bcp to control the frequency and severity of the migraines. since the neurological medications we tried did not work.
You can but it is not needed for the purpose of preventing pregnancy. If you and your health care provider agree, you may decide to take the birth control pill after tubal ligation to control other menstrual-related problems, such has heavy bleeding or painful periods.
Condoms, spermicide, diaphragms. All forms of birth control, whether pill, patch, implant, Nuva Ring, or injection - all deal with hormones. When you have migraines and take birth control, you are risking increasing migraine activity as well as a small increase in the risk of stroke. For some women, birth control may help their migraines. For some women, there will be no difference at all. For some women, there is a dramatic increase in migraine activity. Make sure your prescribing physician knows about your migraines and how often you have them before you begin birth control. Make sure your neurologist knows if you are taking birth control if you are being treated for migraine. Everyone needs to be on the same page.

When it comes to migraines, birth control can be tricky. For some people, being on birth control can cause more migraines. For some people, being on birth control can reduce their migraines. For some people, there is no change at all. There is a small risk, that birth control can cause strokes. People who have classic migraines (or migraine with aura) also have this small risk. So being on birth control can increase the risk for stroke that those type of migraines already increase the chance of. It is a small risk, but it is something to be aware of. It is just like being aware that if you smoke while on birth control, you increase your chance of stroke. Just another factor to discuss with your doctor.
You have to take birth control because, if you got preg. once after tubal, then it means the tubal failed and you have a chance to become pregnant again. Of course, if you want to get preg. again, don't take the birth control!
