BIRTH CONTROL
Advice please:
So I suffer from migraines and about 6 months ago my gp prescribed me propanolol (don’t know how it’s spelt!) for them as I was having several a week. Due to this I had to come off the contraceptive pill. So I stopped taking the propanolol about 3 months ago and weirdly enough I’ve only had the odd migraine probably one a month, so I’m assuming it was the pill that was causing them. However now I’m not on any contraception.
So my question is, how would I go about asking my gp for contraception and what is best to get? He probably wouldn’t recommend the pill again, and tbh after 10 years on it I don’t want it again, don’t get me wrong it sorted out my periods, mood swings etc and it served me well, but I don’t want the increased risks that come along with being on the pill long term.
So what are you lovely ladies using? Please don’t recommend the coil, it scares the actual shit out of me thinking about it being put in and removed. I’m 24 so not looking for a long term solution anyway as I’m hoping to start a family in the next couple of years.
