I talked to my doc yesterday, and her first suggestion was stronger BC's. There is definitely a risk of getting pregnant if you don't do so. My problem is that I have terrible pain with my periods – at 15 years old I used to throw up for the entire first two days and sleep on the floor of the bathroom in a fetal position. That was many years ago though and I have since found relief by taking birth control continuously (skipping the placebo's) and never having a period. It has been a rough road finding the right BC that provides complete relief though, so instead of messing with that, I'm going off the Topamax and trying something else. But as for the pregnancy thing, stronger BC's may be the answer. I'm not sure on that though, so you better check with your doc. Hope this wasn't "too much information"!
