POSTED this in Womens Health but havent received any Answers yet.
I'm 21yrs old, have been sexually active for 3 yrs (with the same partner - we live together) &today I went to get my first prescription for the Pill.
We've been using the rhythm method for three years and though I know it's not perfect, we haven't yet had any scares.
I told the Dr I wanted to go on the Pill for everything - contraceptive, pimple control + to lighten up my periods (they're normally extremely heavy & painful) and that I wanted to try Yasmin, but he prescribed me Levlen instead.
Reading up about it, I'm concerned about the number of women who have experienced a sudden rash of acne, have become moody or gone off sex, or even gone off their partners all together. Some people have even become pregnant on it.
Should I bother taking it? I have never become pregnant on the rhythm method, & I dont want to mess up my cycle for no reason.
What's your experience with the Pill or Rhythm Method?
