Choosing the right birth control

Savannah

I’ve been wanting to go on the pill for awhile now because of terrible cramps and hormonal breakouts. The problem is my mom does not like the idea of me going on the pill as she is mostly against non natural medicines... So I was thinking maybe I could use the patch. Could someone tell me the differences between the pill and the patch? And if the patch will help with cramps and acne? Please comment which brand of pill you use if you have the same problems or if you are on the patch :)
