Hello everyone, i'm new to the boards, but I have a quick question for anyone that is willing to help me out.
I went to my gyn doctor last wednesday, and my blood pressure was alittle high (124/94), she seemed to be concerned that it was the pills (orthro tri lo) i've been on birth control pills for 3 1/5years and never had any problems beside gaining 45lbs. I was alittle concerned with my weight and thats when I went from orthro high to lo. So, this month my doctor advised me to stay off the birth control to see if its from the pills, or if I need to get on high blood pressure pills. I have to take my blood pressure every so often to see if it was the pills, and yes my blood pressure has came down to 117/68, which is very good. So I really believe it is the pills making it higher. When I go back, I have to decide from the nuva ring or yasmin. Which do you think is better? I know that you hear good and bad things about both, but I did gain alot of weight with orthro and I don't know if I need to see how my body reacts with yasmin, and maybe ill lose a lot of my water weight. I go the gym everyday and nothing helps... and the nuva ring, i've heard good things about it and then again some bad. My friends say that its barely noticeable, but when I read online about it, some people say that its very uncomfortable. So I don't know what to do????? If you could please help me out and give me some of your advice that would be appreciated. Thanks, heather
