How was your experience with the pill?

Question

Has the pill helped you? Do you like it? Or what didn't you like about it?

Answer

Played a game on my body too much. Made my hair fall out like crazy gained a lot of weight my skin was freaking out and I tried like 10 different ones too before I just called it quits and realised change my hormones just wasn't for me

Answer

I literally went crazy.* I had all the symptoms of pregnancy for months (morning sickness and all), I'm 99% sure I had a miscarriage the last month I was taking it (I tried to go to the doctor, she blew me off), and it was like I had no control over my emotions. None.

*That was on a low-dose combined pill. 
I tried progesterone only a few years ago. It didn't make me crazy, it just made bleeding irregular for a few months. I will be going back on that after this baby.

Answer

I was on mine for two year. I sometimes forgot it. Had to set an alarm. It gave me pimples and it made my a little more agro that I otherwise would be.

Answer

Was on it for a few years, I recently stopped taking it early this year. It always made me nauseous & I was tired of it.

Answer

What would be the best method of birth control, I've heard the shot makes you moody and and causes weight gain, and I really don't want that

Answer

Made me suicidal. After two yrs I quit and now we use condoms but mentally I'm in a much better place.

Answer

I was always cool with the pill until the last one they put me on. Necon 1/35 was the name of it. Worst mistake of my life. I even read the reviews before I started taking it. It was way too high of an estrogen level for me. I took it for 2 weeks, my stomach felt weird and I felt SUPER sad. The doctor told me to continue taking it. I took it a total of 1 and a half months and had to stop because I was so tired of being depressed from them and my hair had been thinning! I was a mess! It has been almost 8 months since I've stopped taking that crap and my hair is still patchy and my mood is just getting back to normal. I'm not on the pill anymore obviously. Be very careful with which pills you take!!!
