birth control

Bam
Hi everyone! New to this app but anyways this will be in regards to birth control!
So a few years ago around 16 I took birth control loestrin I believe and it was THE WORST thing. My acne got worse, my boobs hurt like hell, I gained 30lbs, I felt crazy, and my cramping was simply insane. I hated it sooo much. I got off of it after a year and now its been 4 years since and I am thinking of trying a different pill? 
I still have acne and I still have awful cramping (why I tried it in the first place) can anyone let me know if they have any positive experiences with a specific pill or negative experiences. Please tell me anything!! I am scared to try again but would like to in case it would help. I am also planning on joining the army so i'm nervous about taking another awful brand
