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.

∙ 12y agoSome women get migraines worse around the time that they are supposed to get their menstrual period. These specific migraines are called menstrual migraines. Birth control can help control the hormones that cause these migraines to get worse around this time.

Can birth control help contol the migraines that are cause by your period?
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.
