Which hormones r hi?: I see some issues/concerns. One, your birth control pill is giving you a headache. Best to tell prescribing doc about side effect and get different one. More importantly, tell your doc that you're trying to conceive b/c taking birth control prevents you from getting pregnant if you take as directed. So your doc's solution isn't really addressing your concern. Need to communicate more/better . . .

You can...: Birth control can cause headaches in the first days to weeks of taking it. Most of the time women get used to it and symptoms get better and finally go away. However, if the headache is severe stop the medication and call your doctor for alternative treatment.
