Birth Control Method.... Posted: 08-08-05 15:05pm
What birth control is the best to use,
with less side effects and stuff like
that?
When I started birth control, I was on the
depo shot, and that screwed up my system,
so I switched to loestrin. Loestrin was
fine at first, but recently i've been
experiencing side effects; such as heart
pains, increased asthma attacks, dizzyness
and nasea.
My friend is on ortho-trycyclen lo, and I
was wondering which one out of that and
yasmin would be best to take. Or if
there's a different one that is better.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Everyone's body is so different, it's
really hard to say one pill is "better"
than another. Personally, i'm on ortho
tri cyclen lo and love it so far (1
month). I was on alesse before that
(which is very similar to loestrin) and
switched because of a decreased sex drive
and lack of withdrawal bleeding. I
haven't had any negative side effects so
far. But if you're having nausea with
loestrin, yasmin probably wouldn't be a
great choice because it had even more
estrogen, which is what causes those
symptoms. Your doctor would be able to
tell you better which pill is right for
you.

Thanks! Yea, my doctor is either going to
put me on a lower dose of loestrin or
something, according to my mom. I dont
want a lower dose of this one I just want
to get off of it. Thanks!
