I think you should go back and address this with your doctors. When you suffer with migraines they need to be careful what they give you. I’m limited n which contraception I go on because I suffer with migraines and I can only take progesterone only pills
It's a combination pill containing both the reproductive hormones... so the chances of the discomforting symptoms are more. The spotting and cramps are related to the progesterone but it's the oestrogen which brings on morning sickness, migraines and other associated discomforts. How long have you been on this pill? If you're on it for a while and just started having the migranes then you should consult your gynae soon. However, if you've just started this one then it could simply be one of the many breakthrough symptoms. If the migraine, however, doesn't subside eventually or gets worse you need to change the brand or try another type of pills. Like the PP said you can also be switch to the progesterone-only pills to avoid the migraines. Hope you don't need it though.
You should go back to your doctor and ask to change brands if this keeps happening . Rigevidon can cause headaches and migraines. When I was put on it the doctor asked if I suffered from headaches, I said no so guessing this pill can make headaches evenue worse
