Ok so ive been taking Balziva (Generic for Ovcon-35) for 3 days now…
Ive had a off and on again headache since then and they throw me into a serious migraine each night,(ive had migraines since i was a 5),(im 18 now), and pain in my upper abdominal area. It feels like everything inside of me is being twisted around and it comes at random times during the day.
Could it be the birth control?
I had to go on a higher dose because i have endometriosis.
If it is the BC will it ever go away?
Answer:
Did the physician know about your chronic headaches and migraines before prescribing the higher dose birth control?
Extra estrogen triggers migraines. I've also suffered from migraines since as long as I have the ability to remember (I am now 20) and I was put on one of the lowest dose birth controls available and I still get bad enough migraines to vomit and I’ve been on birth control for nearly a year. I cannot even imagine the pain it is causing you to be on a high level of estrogen birth control.
The abdominal pain should be discussed with you doctor as well as looking into a different form of birth control.
Edit: there are many options besides birth control pills. The shot, IUD, implants, nuvaring, mini-pill (which is progesterone only, isn't supposed to affect headaches/migraines). Ask your physician about other options.
