So I just started taking birth control for
the first time, basically for shorter,
lighter periods, and clearer skin, and my
doctor prescribed Tri-Nessa. I'm still on
my first pack, and just started the blue
active pills. At first, I noticed no side
affects whatsoever, but since starting the
blue pills, I noticed i've been breaking
out more. Nothing too severe, just little
pimples that crop up overnight. However,
since I really haven't experienced any
other side affects, I'm a little reluctant
to change pills, especially because my
body is probably still getting used to the
whole thing. I hear horror stories with
just about every brand of bc, so I'm
guessing it really depends on how your
individual body reacts to the hormone
change. I have a follow up appointment
with my doctor at the end of September, so
I'm thinking I should just wait...?? I
don't want to switch bc brands and end up
taking something that gives me worse side
affects!

Everybody reacts differently to things,
whilst a large number of people who take
the pill say it helps clear their skin and
helps reduce blood quantity, there are
some people that have the opposite side
effects. If your skin is breaking out more
so then before and after running a course
it is still that way then unfortunatly it
looks like you are one of the few who have
different side affects. When I took the
pill it would make me physically sick, no
matter which brand on top of that my
periods became heavier than before so
after trying it for 6 months I decided I
would rather use condoms with my partner
and not be throwing up with no sex drive
and heavy periods than to have the
convinience of the pill. I do however now
have a child though lol so I guess if I
stuck it out on the pill I would not be a
mummy.
