i have been on the pill for 5 years now and was weighing the pro's and con's of other types of birth control like the shot, that inserted ring device and things like that. i was just wondering what you personally thought was the best, what your side affects were and basically ur experiences with other types of birth control. i still intend to use a condom even when im on the pill of the shot or whatever i choose but i do want another form just in case.
my skin breaks out alot when i use the pill..ive tried switching brands and no real difference was had between the 8 different types i tried..does anyone else have this problem?
p.s i cant use the patch. i tried it once and it burned my skin severely and left a red mark that took over a year to go away.
p.p.s is anyone on the pill that only gives u 3 periods a year? if so can u tell me about ur experiences with it cuz that sounds like a blessing to me! lol

If you want something you don't have to worry about, what about an IUD? Like ParaGard? Maybe the non-hormonal aspect of that would work well for you.
My Husband and I used condoms for a long time, then just after the birth of our second child I got my tubes tied...so that is my birth control.

ANY birthcontrol pill can decrase the number of periods you have per yr just dont take the pink pills instead start a new pack. I was on the depo worked fine for me if you dont mine a shot every 3 months. No side effects. I also had an IUD (for 5 yrs) no big deal there either.And my friend had the ring which she never had side effects for. However we both have our tubes tied and thats the best method of all!

Well I do not recommend the shot at all, I think it is horrible.
I am on Kariva and have had zero side affects.
There are MANY types of pills, so you might want to try a few other types.
Or just go for the condom.
Here is a site that has reviews...
