A member asked:

Would it be a good idea to switch from mononessa to quasense birth control, if i have a history of migraines, and bad cramps during my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely a good idea: Yes, it is likely a good idea, as you will only have a period every 3 months. The periods not not seem to be any worse than if you have it monthly.
