Birth control and migraines?


Does anyone know of a birth control pill that is not likely or at least less likely to cause migraines? My gyno wants to put me on the pill to control ovarian cysts but in the past I got migraines when I was on BC pills. This is NOT for contraception, just for the cysts. Depo prevara and ortho evra were the worst offenders for me. I can't get preggers anyway.

I'm not real familiar with what kind is less going to prevent migraines, but I used Othro Tri-Cyclen Lo for about 5 years (regular Ortho Tri-Cyclen for 4 years) and they were both GREAT!

I hope you're able to find something that helps.
