birth control

hey ladies.

a close friend is needing to go on birth control for the first time in a very long time. please share which brand birth control you have used and if you like it or didn't and why. she said she doesn't really know many people IRL who've been on BC. i told her my experience, but i'm only one opinion.

 

Re: birth control

  • I used Estrostep FE for 5 or 6 years.  I never had any issues and I didn't put on any weight.  I then switched to Seasonique because of the 4 periods a year hype but didn't like it because I would have spotting.

  • i have only used the depo shot....and HATED it.  it made me have a light period almost everyday!  yuck!

  • I was on Orthotricylen for awhile and then switched to Yasmin and now I'm on Yaz.

    I like Yaz the best out of all of them.  It's made my periods lighter, helped with cramps and reduced my mood swings--H is happy with that.

  • I've been on them all!!  I started out on Yasmine, orto tricyclen for a few months, then went to Yaz, and now i'm on the nuvaring.  I love the nuvaring because I don't have to take the pill everyday.  I was terrible at remembering to take the pill the right way!
  • I've been on Ovcon 35 for a few years. My cycle was crazy and I used to get really long and heavy periods but since I started the pill, they've been so much better.
    I'm pretty sure it's pronounced your mom's a moron and if you didn't have your name legally changed by the age of 22, so are you. Unless you're from another continent. -Groomz
  • I was on NuvaRing and had terrible long episodes of bleeding. three weeks of beeding, three weeks of not bleeding. It sucked for me.

    Now I'm on Seasonique (have been since Winter 2005) and I love it. 4 periods a year, and the ones I do have are next to nothing.  My MOH was on it and spotted terribly and couldn't remain. 

    Everyone reacts differerntly especially when it comes to birth control. She's going to have to find one that appeals to her lifestyle and then it is all trial and error from there. 

    Good luck!
