[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My periods used to be like yours and I’m now on birth control pills that make it almost completely nonexistent. I don’t understand why people think they have to live like this.

And believe me, I get it. With periods like mine used to be, no, you cannot just put a couple OB’s in your pocket. An OB was a joke. I could not be away from a bathroom for more than 45 minutes and I get that’s a huge pain with ski equipment and clothes. Learn from this vacation and start exploring options when you get home (my “last straw” was when mine came on a weekend I had a golf tournament and an outdoor concert and it was a total nightmare).

Oh, my doctor had me try taking Advil around the clock. Like 800mg in a sitting. It can slow down the blood flow. It’s not a long term solution but something easy you can try this week.  [/quote]

Note: [b]women who suffer serious migraines should not take birth control due to risk of stroke. [/b][/quote]

This is wrong.

The risk is for women who have migraines with aura, and only with estrogen-containing contraception.

1. If you have serious migraines but no aura, there is no increased risk.
2. If the birth control does not contain estrogen, there is no increased risk. Options include progesterone-only pills, DepoProvera shots, and Nexplanon subdermal implants, among others.[/quote]
