ok feel a bit of a weirdo asking this but there is a reason.
Yesterday i had Marriage Prep and we were upto the topic of Sex and Children (Yay!! Could it be any more embarassing lol!!!) anyhoo me and the lady of the couple who me and my fiance meet with were discussing about the Combined Pill - When i was younger i had migraines i think my last was in about 2002 (i remember cos i was still taking history lol) however it's hereditary in my family (my mum, uncle and grandma all suffer). I read this page http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/27000853/ and it talks about how you are at higher risk of stroke if you have migraines and take the pill.
Now i dont get this a stroke is a blood clot which forms in the brain, then theres a part in the Combined Pill, which works as a blood thinner so how can you clot and have thin blood at the same time!!!!!
I am going to the Doc's in the next week ish but i thought i may as well ask if anyone had any idea!!!

My doctor told me to take the pill to keep my periods regular and not so painful. Works very well. If you read the info on the pill you see all the risks you are taking by taking it. But I don't think it will make such a difference in your health.
One day the "scientists" will tell you that if you eat a tomato every day it will prevent this or that illness. And then a couple of weeks later, some other "scientists" will say, don't eat tomatoes because they increase your risk of this or that. It's much the same thing.
I'll rather be on the pill than worry about getting pregnant again. And in some cases I think it might even help prevent your migraines. Good luck with your decision!

The pill puts you at a higher risk for just about everything, and the doctors never even mention it. For some reason they are so concerned you get your sex, risk just doesn't matter. Of the many friends I have had through the years that couldn't get pregnant when they wanted to, all of them had taken the pill. The doc will say no biggie, keep having your sex and taking your pills, but your should think hard about it and pray even harder.

you should use a non hormonal birthcontrol, like condoms or a diaphragm.
