What Bc Pill Has Been Good For You? Posted: 01-23-07 15:07pm
I know everyone is different, and my doc
will tell me which pills is best for me,
but she got it wrong the first time.
i've been on
ortho-tric-cylen lo for over a year now,
and things never got better. Only good
things, my cramps were better and I didn't
gain any weight when I restarted it.
So, what meds do you have good luck with?
Yasmin?

you can consult your doctor about nuva
ring. It's a soft, flexible ring worn in
vagina for three weeks, than easily
removed for one week.
You can be free not to think about your
contraceptive everyday, because this ring
is once monthly inserted.Medication is
absorbed directly into the blood steam
through the vagina wall membrane,
providing consistant amount.That's way its
effectiveness ratings are listed at 99%,
comparable to patch and better than pill's
effectiveness.
If your period is irregular you'll start
to experiance regular,shorter and lighter
one.

I've had much sucess with ortho tri
cyclen. It's helped with everything from
my heavy & very painful periods, to
acne.. With very little, if no side
effects. I've been on it for about a year
now and don't plan on switching up.

I was on mircette for 6 years and had no
problems whatsoever. I just switched
last month to lutera (my medical
provider's coverage changed) and haven't
had a problem so far. My doctor said
that she prefers lutera anyway because it
has a more balanced ratio of estrogen and
progestrin. She said that spotting may
happen but being sure to take the pill
regulary around the same time each day
would help (i haven't had a problem so
far), the only difference has been some
breast tenderness (but that went away
after a few weeks) and my period started
very soon after taking my first placebo
pill... On mircette I always started
around the third placebo day. Something
you should also take into account is the
hormone desogestrel... Or lack thereof...

I have been on yasmin for 11 months. I
have a lighter, shorter and regular
period. No side effects. Neither
positive not negative. I had heard that
it improves skin texture and thats its a
"feel good" bcp, but I can't tell any
obvious difference!
Last month I ran out of yasmin and had to
switch to gynera. Been on it for a week
now and I seem to have made a smooth
transition.

I've tried quite a few different brands of
the pill, but the only one that's really
worked for me is levlen 28. My periods
are extremely light (almost non-existant
even) and they never last more than 3
days. I also had an awful time using
ortho tri cyclen lo (and regular ortho tri
cyclen)... so you might want to try a
monophasic pill instead of a triphasic
one. =)
