Title: Birth control pills and ch
Post by Georgia on Aug 2^nd, 2002, 9:36am

Just wondering if anyone has experienced any changes with their ch while being on birth control pills. My last neuro would not give clearance to my gp to prescribe them for me...said they would make my ch much worse. Just want to hear it from the real experts now. :)

Georgia - My ch's didn't change whether on BP pills or not - the beast continued to visit me at the regular times.

Tell your doc to give you the script or he can come help you with your infant while you have a cycle of CH's! ;) That may just make him see the light!

Keep the faith,

LOL! Thanks NotH20. Since moving half away across the country, I don't have the same neuro anymore. I am just debating whether or not I should just go to a clinic and acidentally forget to mention ch. Last time I tried to get on the pill, I told the dr that I had ch and she said she wouldnt presrcibe it without an ok from my neuro, which he wouldn't give. I just want to make sure I am making the right decision before I do anything. Thanks for your input.

Yikes, Georgia - don't play with fire, girl!!

If the pill cause cause a meegraine for me, it can cause a cluster for you.

Just go get the scissors instead. ;)
