I'm 19 and thinking of going on some birth control pill. Not because I need birth control, but a magazine I just read seemed to glorify the Pill and made me realize I should consider it. I get migraines with my period. I didn't know they were migraines, but the magazine called them that (it's like an intense headache with tons of pressure, lights seem too bright, I feel sick and have to lay still with my eyes closed). When I have my period, I get them for two days at the beginning, then nothing for a few days, then two or three more days of headaches. I also get bad cramps which I stop by taking 2 ibuprofen every 4 hours for the first three days. I've always thought the headaches were normal PMS and the cramps I can get around by taking other meds, but the magazine made it sound like the Pill could take away the headaches and lessen the cramping. I guess my questions are:
1) will a birth control pill take away the headaches?
2) will I gain weight?
3) can the same pill that lessens the headaches and cramps help with acne? (I don't have bad acne, but if there's a few different pills and one can do that too, why not?)
4) can anyone tell me how much it costs a month?
