Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

You can still try taking the pill, as migraine is aggravated in less than 10% of people with migraines. So, if your migraines get aggravated with pills, you can always stop them.
In that case, the only temporary contraception you can use are barrier methods, such as condoms.
I hope it helps.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
