Birth Control
"I went on the Nuvaring because I get excruciating menstrual migraines. My migraine specialist suggested that I try it and have triptans as a backup. The first month had only a few issues - headaces but Advil took them away. They were different symptoms than migraines. During the third week I experienced spotting/breakthrough bleeding for 9 days until it was time to take it out and ended up not having a period. I was worried but it turns out that you need to let your body adjust to it first and then it will get normal because it is a very mild dose of hormones. Eventually I&#039;m planning to leave it in for 4 weeks but in the mean time I only had 1 migraine and could tell it was going to be bad so I took a triptan."
