I have just recently started taking ortho
tricyclen lo and am only on my 6 pill but
for the past week that I have been takin
it I have become extremly moody I will go
from being normal a.K.A happy to being
very angry to being extremly sad over
something someones said and ive completely
just taken it the wrong way...Usually I
dont take everything so seriously and its
ruining mine and my boyfriends
relationship b/c ive turned into this girl
that im not and I continue to act like
somethings wrong when nothing is and he
takes it as being his fault... Me and my
boyfriend are not even having sex yet and
im just on the pill b/c my parents want me
to b ready 4 when we do and I also want my
acne to clear ...But is there any other
forms of birth control that will clear up
or control my acne and prepare me for sex
and not make me like this?
Thnx xox

A lot of women notice mood swings their
first month on birth cotnrol, so it is
normal.
But nuva ring is known to have fewer mood
side effects and many types of birth
control help with acne.

It is not a pill, but it is birth
control!
You see nuva ring is a way to get the
lowst amount of hormones in your body,
pills contain higher amounts of hormones,
thgus many women notice more side effects
from pills than nuva ring.
Low dose pills include, alesse, mircette,
ortho tri cyclen lo....

I can relate to you 100%. I've never
been as moody and health forum as I am
now, but it's simply the joys of being on
birth control.
Because all forms of birth control have
the same hormones in them... They will
all cause you to go a little crazy.
There are lo doses out there though that
may help you. I think alesse is a
lower dosage than ortho tricyclen lo...
I'm using alesse and my mood swings are
bad, but they're manageable... Just ask
your doctor, thats the best way to go;
she/he knows best...
Other than that... I don't really know of
any other forms...
Good luck
p.S alesse has also cleared up my acne

Lutera And Ring Effects Posted: 05-30-06 08:22am
I just started on lutera--i am also moody
and I have been
bleeding like i'm having a period--tho not
so heavy.
I think that there are lower doses of the
pill than this
but only found out about that after I
started on lutera.
As far as the ring goes, my friend is a
nurse. One of
her patients has been using the ring
faithfully, but
found out she was pregnant. This
pregnant user of
the ring was very angry that her efforts
to avoid
pregnancy failed. I can't help but think
that the best
contraceptive is a condom that has
nonoxynol9 on it
which needs to be applied in a little bit
of light so
you can check that it is really on the
man. The added
bonus to the condom is that you are also
preventing
diseases like aids from infecting you.
You may
think your boyfriend is free from stds,
but you
really never know unless he promises to
take
a thorough exam and tests. I know from
experience.
This may all seem like a pain, but even
the most
innocent looking guy can carry disease.
You may
not think so now, but you really are worth
taking
care of properly and that means you are
worthy of
protecting against diseases. You can
have sex if
you feel you are ready for it, just be
smart about it.
