Nortrel is a hormonal pill and may cause headaches. Now that you are not having headaches as of now, you may not have it in future as well. However if you have one,you know the culprit ad discontinue it. You can always use other options for birth control and condom is one of the them which has no side-effects.
You may have unprotected sex at any time.
