Birth Control?

Question

Which birth control pill are you on? do you like it? Is there a pill with minimal weight gain?

I was on the patch 3 yrs. The doc recently took me off of it, because my body was fighting against it.

Answer 1

I was on Yasmin for several years and liked it a lot. I just recently switched to Seasonale and like it pretty well too. The only problem with the Seasonale is they say you are period free for 3 months but that is only if your body will last that long without break through bleeding. I haven't noticed any major weight gain with either. Good luck.

Answer 2

I'm not on one but i was and i used the Pilll the patch and the shot. I liked the patch the best. The pill u can forget sometimes, the shot makes some people gain weight but the patch is real simple..U put it on and change it once a week.

Answer 3

I'm not on a pill, I'm on NuvaRing and I love it. I actually lost some weight when I started taking it, and I blame the few pounds I have gained since then on not smoking anymore. I really like NuvaRing because it is simple, easy, and I don't have to remember to take a pill every day, it is also a lower dose of hormones so I don't have the moodswings I had when I was on pills

Answer 4

I wouldn't really recommend what I'm on. I use Depo, a shot every 3 months, but it has caused weight gain and has other issues. I'm on it because it's just about the only thing that stops me from bleeding to death every month.

I would like to say that I tried the NuvaRing and HATED it. This may be TMI, but everytime you have to go potty you have to make sure you don't loose the ring.

Answer 5

try the patch it work better and is better 4 u in health 1 patch last 7 days so u dont need to worry about taking the pill once u r on it come c me 4 lots of fun lol

Answer 6

for me i have been on differant birthcontrol and both have made me gain weight, i was on one for 3 months then got off, then this last month i went on it, i got such mad moodswings, it was horrlbe i almost ruined my realationship!!!!
be careful, sometimes pills& anything are not ment for a person, id recomend if your old enough and with one person getting a IUD, my mom has it and it only hurt getting it put in she said, nad it doesnt put any chemicals or drugs into your body, cause really thats never healthy good luck!
