Birth Control Reccomendations?

Question

Obviously, this forum is no replacement for a trip to the doctor (and I have another appointment next week)! However, can anyone give me advice on a B.C. pill that might not give me the horrible side effects that Alesse (breakthrough bleeding, hairloss), Ortho-tricyclin (depression, emotional instability), or Yasmin (difficulty breathing, numbness in arms, loss of balance) have given me?

I'd like to add that I must take B.C. for medical reasons. Not just to avoid pregnancy.

Answer 1

Desogen...im not sure if thats how you spell it but i have been taking it for two years and i have not gotten any side effects....good luck

Answer 2

LNg IUD
For birth Control

Pros
Reduces dysfunctional uterine bleeding by an average of 90% after the first few months of use. 2
Reduces menstrual bleeding and cramps and, in many women, eventually causes menstrual periods to stop altogether. In this case, not menstruating is not harmful.
May prevent endometrial hyperplasia or endometrial cancer.
May decrease the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
May effectively relieve endometriosis, and is less likely to cause side effects than high-dose progestin is. 3
Reduces the risk of ectopic pregnancy.
Does not cause weight gain.

Cons
Menstrual problems. About 12% of women have the Copper T 380-A IUD removed because of increased menstrual bleeding or cramping. 2 Women may also experience spotting between periods. However, after about 3 months of increased bleeding or spotting, the LNg IUD reduces menstrual cramps and bleeding by an average of 90%. 2
Perforation. In 1 out of every 1,000 women, the IUD will get stuck in or puncture (perforate) the uterus. 1 Although perforation is rare, it almost always occurs during insertion. The IUD should be removed if the uterus has been perforated.
Expulsion. About 2% to 10% of IUDs are pushed out (expelled) from the uterus into the vagina during the first year. This usually happens in the first few months of use. Expulsion is more likely when the IUD is inserted right after childbirth, or in a woman who has not carried a pregnancy. 1 When an IUD has expelled, you are no longer protected against pregnancy.
Disadvantages of IUDs include the high cost of insertion, no protection against STDs, and the need to be removed by a health professional.
