okay i've been on birth control for like seven months. its so horrible and i hate it. it makes me sick to my stomach all the time, sleepy and moody. my personality has totally changed since i've been on it. but see, it good that i'm on it cause me and my boyfriend um....have sex like alot. and we've had so many pregnancy scares that's why i'm on it. the birth control is doing its job but i hate the side effects. i've talked to him about this and he ultimately says "do what you want" but he strongly urged me to reconsider it. he's scared of having a baby right now and so am i. i just dont know what to do. Any suggestions?

You probably just need a lower does of birth control. The first time I got on it I was sick all the time and it was just because the doses were too high. The doctor gave me a different brand that had less estrogen and such and then I wasnt sick all the time.

Well - there are other forms of birth control - you should talk to your doctor about which one would work best for you. If you are not ready for a child I strongly suggest you STAY on birth control until you're ready.
However, since he's already said, "do what you want" - you need to talk to him about getting off of it and talking about what would happen if you became pregnant.

Look around for a different method............use condoms AND spermacide together. The Ortho Evra patch is what I use and it's great. Believe me - depending on how old u are u don't wanna be a mom too young. I had my 1st at 17 years old and it was not fun. Enjoy your life just be SAFE! There are plenty of other methods out there just talk to your doctor.

Use condoms and spermicide that you can buy over the counter. My husband and I use condoms and spermicide together each time we have intercourse and have been using it for 2 years with no babies. You should also talk with your doctor about these issues with your birth control. I might also add you should be using condoms every time you have intercourse with this b/f. You need to protect yourself from disease as well as pregnancy.

I am a guy and know squat about this, but I would suggest you speak to your obgyn about your symptoms and look for an alternative "pill"...guys hate to wear rubbers so it sounds like you are bound to get pregenant without birth control.

Try another kind of BC. There are lots of them out there. Just cause he wont use a condum doesnt mean you have to risk getting PG/ Go see your Doc and get him to recommend a new one. Not only pills but I UD s are out there.

Go back to your doctor and get a BC that has less estrogen and also take it at night. While you sleep you shouldnt feel so nauseous. Thats what I did. But why risk gettting pregnant.

Just tell him. NO need for you to suffer anymore. I hate birthcontrol and will not take the pill because it just messes up my body so much. Find other ways to stay protected and if your man is mad, well, stop giving him any booty.

Talk to your doctor and see if he/she suggests another BCP. There are different kinds with different hormone levels. Just be honest with your bf and DO NOT have sex w/o protection.
