Which birth control is best to use?

Question

I’ve been on birth control before but i hated it and was new to it. I want to look into different options but idk which one is best and the safest. I also want one that doesn’t make people gain weight. I’m cautious about what i eat and i work at but before when i was on it food cravings were hell and i gained almost 10 lbs.

Answer

I’ve been on the pill since I was 15. It has never made me gain weight and I’ve actually lost weight while continuing to use it. I’ve heard the depo shot almost always causes weight gain though. 
Everyone is different so it’s hard to say which form is best.

Answer

I love my Mirena. No side effects other than no more periods.

Answer

You never know what side effects you’ll get until you try, so it’d be difficult to rule out certain birth control before trying. If the pill didn’t work for you, maybe try the implant? I personally just use condoms but I can understand that’s not the best choice for others. Your gyno should be able to help you with your options.

Answer

I gained almost 15 lbs on the pill so I would not recommend that. Currently I have the implant and I haven’t experienced any change in my appetite and I’ve actually lost all of my “pill weight”. It’s nice because you don’t have to remember to take a pill everyday and you don’t have to get a new one for about 5 years. The only down side for me is I’ve had it for about 3 months now and my body is still adjusting to it.
