side effects of bc
Posted: 04-29-08 11:18am

This no birth control method is not working out for me. I hate using a diaphram. But i have tried nearly every single pill: Seasonale, seasonique, ortho tri cyclen, ortho lo, alesse, micronor, the ring, the patch.

Every single time i had either a) a serious acne explosion, b) uncontrollable depressed mood.

I also suffer from frequent migraines during my period with or without birth control.

Anyone have a similar experience and can recommend a brand of pill that possibly i havent tried? I havent tried Yaz or Yasmin, could that help?

If the pills and hormonal methods of birth control are giving you terrible side effects, you should either use a pill that has a lower dose of hormones or try switching to a non hormonal method. You don't like using a diaphram; how are condoms for you? Also, have you thought about an IUD? There are non hormonal IUDs and you don't feel them at all. They are still 99% effective at preventing pregnancy and you won't have all the nasty side effects that the pills are giving you.
