best birth control?

Question

im trying to explore my options and would love to hear of your personal experiences with BC and in what ways they effected you...

Answer

I started on Lo Loestrin and I had no cramps but periods twice a month. I switched to Junel and have been on it for a year. I have 4 day periods and only slight cramping one day.

Answer

Depo has put me through hell. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone. When I was younger I was on Yaz and it worked pretty well.

Answer

Abstinence, never fails

Answer

If you want kids in the next few years I would stay away from Depo and Implanon. I've heard so many women have difficulties in the full year following, after going off them.

Answer

I was on Yasmin/Ocella for 4 years. Kariva for 2 years and the patch (OrthoEvra) for 3 months in between. I went off the patch as soon as I could. I gained 10lbs in those 3 months.

Answer

Different birth controls work for different people - your best bet is to talk to your doctor about what will work best for you. Personally, I loved Lo Loestrin Fe, but had breakthrough bleeding whenever I didn't take it at the exact same minute every day.

​Chances are, you will have to go through a few different pills before you find the one that's right for you (if you're opting for a pill, I mean). Just talk to your doctor to determine a good place to start and then go from there!
