I am having problems with which birth control method I should use.
I have used the pill (Ortho Tricyclen) and it works… but I gain SO much weight (my weigh is 145-155 and I gain up to 175-180 lbs.), I am more moody, I am unable to get “wet”, lower sex drive, get depressed, constant yeast/urinary infections, and I plain old hate myself when I am on it. I understand that these are the side affects but I don’t want to get back on it if that’s how my life is going to be. I have been off the pill since July and I am SO much happier without it. I don’t get infections, my weight is normal, and its easier to get happy and “wet”.
Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do? What do you suggest?
I have been looking in to other forms of contraceptive… but the all seem to have the same side effects… nuvo-ring has same side effects, but less extreme. But the I deal of the ring.. just kinda creeps me out.
Some one help please! (even if someone has the same answer as you I would be interested in your experience)
