Best birth control pills

What birth control pill are you on? Do you like it? Have you had any reactions to it?

Re: Best birth control pills

I was taking Yasmine. They didnt make me feel weird at all, I had no reactions and AF was very regular.
I've been on other BC pills that made me nutty

Re: Best birth control pills

Hoe long does it last? Well its like a regular BC pill, only you take it for 94 days in stead of 28.

Have you experienced any side effects with this? I would love to only have 4 periods a year, but I'm scared of the side effects.

The first couple of days you take it, you can be nauseous. So it is suggested you take it at night instead of the morning.

A couple of weeks after you get cramping for a couple of days, but it goes away. After that, nothing. I have been taking it since last summer. I haven't had any spotting or anything.

Any weight gain or mood swings?

Nope, not at all. I mean, I'm fat, but that's my own fault.

I take Ortho Novum 7-7-7. It is a pretty old pill since there are so many new ones out there. I like it and have never had any problems with it.

ortho tri-cyclen for the last 2 years(?) i was on it before and went off for a while. but since i've been on it now, at first AF was a little funky, but now it seems to be leveling out.

I'm on Estrostep - I like it, I think its def the one for me. I was also on Ortho Cyclen which was ok, and then Ovcon 35 which, for me, was AWFUL. There really is no 'best' pill, it all has to do with how it reacts with your body.

I am on Seasonale as well.

you say that the first couple of days you feel nauseous, I believe you feel like that starting any BC pill. I was first on Ortho Tri Cyclen and like you say I felt nauseous so now I take it at 9pm.

You can spot with Seasonale if you don't take it at exactly the same time. I have been on this pill since it came out over a year ago.

Re: Best birth control pills

I'm on Estrostep since August and I hate it. Irregular periods (nothing from August to December) Got one in Dec. Purposely skipped Jan for honeymoon. Got one in February. Skipped March.

Making an appointment to check with doctor about switching back to Nordette which I was on for ages and loved. CLOCK WORK is your friend!
