Is there a birth control pill that will actually help my migraines?

I have polycystic ovary syndrome and the best solution to elevate my hormonal levels is to be on the birth control pill. However, I seem to suffer more headaches and migraines while on the pill. I have so far tried Yasmin and LoEsterin and they have made the migraines worse. Is there a birth control pill out there that will help the migraines or at least keep them at bay?

1. I'm sort of the opposite. I went on the pill to knock out my migraines. Currently I'm on Tri-Sprintec, the generic version of Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. Different pills have different horomone levels and there are also combination pills versus progestin only pill. I don't know much about your condition, and if changes in horomone level or type of horomone will affect it, but talk to your gyn about the migraines. It may be as simple as changing your pill dosage.
2. There is a new development in migraine therapy: http://www.neurologyreviews.com/feb04/nr_feb04_foramen.html
