If your current method is driving you crazy, there’s probably something better out there.
7. You Have Horrible Migraines with Vision Changes
If you're taking birth control pills and get migraines, make sure to tell your doctor—especially if they're accompanied by aura (vision changes with a migraine). Research shows that women taking birth control who get migraines (particularly migraines with aura) have a higher risk of blood clots and stroke. So if you’re suffering from these headaches, talk to your doctor about which method may be better for you. In this case, a non-hormonal method like the copper IUD or condoms may be a safer bet, says Minkin.
