Red face What would be a good birth control to take if you have migraines?

I am 30 yrs old and I suffer from migraines. I currently take imitrex when I feel one starting. It works ok but I have not been taking it very long. I currently need a new birth control becuse I have had too many weird side effects from nuvaring, ortho patch and the depo shot. I am also unable to get an IUD because of my insurance.I have read all over the internet the horrer stories of some of the pills making the migraine worse. Don't get me wrong I know that birth control effects everyone differently but if a majority are getting more frequent migraines from a certain one that that would be good deciding factor. Plus I am affraid it might increase my headaches then I am stuck for the next 5 years. I heard that Mircette was good for some people but it says on the information sheet not to take if you have migraines. So I am stuck and I go back to the OBGYN in April and don't know what to do. Can anyone help?
