So Ive had a mirena for nearly a year for heavy bleeding and the progesterone part of hrt and use 2 pumps of oestrogel, I've also been on the mini pill for 2 months to stop the cramps and bleeding that I've been having. The cramps have decreased in frequency and painfulness, to become more like a niggling headache in the background the bleeding is now occasional spotting, but since starting the mini pill I have now had 2 migraines, they are optical migraines usually with a mild headache but the effects often last 3 or 4 days with my eyes feeling like they don't quite work together, I usually have about 1 a year but have now had 3 in 3 months.
So my question is should I stop taking the mini pill and see if the bleeding and cramps have settled, my GP is not clued up she gave me the mini pill as she said she wasn't really sure what else to do
