Hello ma'am and welcome.
Usually there are many options of birth control and you should be able to find one that does not cause undesired side effects. So I would recommend a visit to your doctor to help evaluate you and find a suitable substitute birth control that would best suit you, but in the meantime you can choose to discontinue the birth control and shift over to something else (e.g. condoms) until you are protected once again.
Best wishes.
