Does anybody have positive experiences with birth control?

Question

I’ve experienced nothing but bad..major depression, bad thoughts, feeling awful and absolutely no sex drive or the ability to get turned on. I stopped it altogether but I have began dating and definitely want to protect myself, but I’m scared of going through all of that again. Any advice?

Answer

Try a different brand?
I have had 0 side effects and major benefits. I used to have horrible periods, extreme bloating and severe cramps (so bad I stayed in bed during my periods and skipped school), even used to faint from all the pain, my periods were super heavy and irregular. Got my first period when I was 9 and for 10 years I was deeply suffering (never got better). When I was 19 I got on the pill (to prevent pregnancies) and I couldn't believe how much it has changed my cycles. They are light, always on time, no cramps, no bloating, I can even exercise now, go to the gym and go to work without a problem.  I have been on Yaz for the past 4+ years. It helped my skin glow, I've always had nicer skin, but the pills just made it better.
As for side effects. Zero. No lack of sex drive, no weight gain, no mood swings/depression. Nothing.
The pill works really well for me.
Can you talk to your doctor, explain what happens and maybe ask them to recommend a different pill? Something must be right for you.

Answer

Not all BC pills are created equally. Meaning just because one didn’t work doesn’t mean you’ll have the same effects with the next one. You should’ve just gone back to your doctor and let them adjust your dose.

Answer

Was that just on the pill? 
Have you thought about IUD ?
