Q: Microgynon 30 Side Effects

Hi there

be grateful for some advice.

I have been taking microgynon for just over a week. I am 31 and have not taken the pill for about 6 years since coming down with hormone migraines when I took the pill cilest. My gp at the time said that cilest was a bad pill for me. Anyway - I have chosen to go back on the pill but specifically asked not to have cilest so they gave me microgynon.

I woke up with a bad headache yesterday which stayed all day. I took 2 aspirin and later on 2 nurofen. I had a good nights sleep but woke up today with the headache still there and I think its getting worse - I am also starting to feel quite sick. I have not taken anything for it yet. Should I stop taking it or perhaps phone my gp? I was thinking that I should stick it out for at least a month as it may be the changeover onto the pill that is causing this?

Any advice?

Many thanks
