I've been on 13 different types of birth control and all of them had awful side effects varying from stomach cramps, nausea, depression, mood swings, and low libido. I tried the shot and I spotted for four months straight. I use condoms during sex and birth control would mainly be to help my periods but I can't find the right type. I have endometriosis and the ladies in my family all had hysterectomies because of it including one at the age of 25. Has anyone else had this issue finding the right pill? And if so how did you go about finding it?
