Should I stay on birth control or stop altogether?

Question

I have been on four different types of birth control. I'm on Reclipsen (Generic of Desogen) right now for about 6 months and lately have been getting these horrible migraines that don't respond to any kind of medicine. Also, since I've been taking them, my periods have gotten MUCH heavier, last 5 days (no change) and my cramps have gotten worse and last longer. Should I get off birth control altogether or should I try another one? I have heard good things about Yasmin but also heard it was expensive.

FYI: I was placed on them b/c I'm prone to cysts on my ovaries.

Answer 1

What about the vaginal ring? I've heard good things about that.

Answer 2

You need to be discussing this with your physician, and explore all options. Also spare no expense for your health.
