Got Any Brand Recommendations? Posted: 03-21-05 20:53pm
Hey everyone. :)
for the past 15 months i've been taking
b/c pills. I was on ortho tri cyclen lo
for quite awhile then I switched to
alesse. I was always getting
breakthrough bleeding on ortho despite how
I took it regularly everyday, so my doctor
put me on alesse. However, alesse gives
me the worst pms and makes me feel really
depressed. I figured those side effects
would lessen as time went by, but they
haven't. I've been on it for quite
awhile now.
Anyway, i'll be due for a checkup soon, so
i'm curious to know what pills you all
have been on and if you've happened to
find a brand that doesn't make you a
moody, irritable mess. I know the pills
don't work the same for everyone, but I
thought i'd check anyway. I'm desperate
to find one that doesn't turn me into a
psycho for 2 weeks each month. I hate
feeling grumpy all the time.
Thanks!
Nicole

of your problems. Try it out!

I am on yasmin 28, and have been for about
2 years. As far as I can tell, I have
had no bad side effects, and my cramps are
way less than they were before I started
the pills. But i've seen posts on here
from people who hated yasmin. I think
its just going to depend on your body. I
just got lucky and the first brand I tried
has worked for me so far.

Yeah, those are both good ones (i take
yasmin). Definitely talk to your doctor
- he or she can help you make a decision
about what would be best for you. They
know all about the side effects and stuff.
Good luck!
