Birth Control Pill users. what are you on AND
what were you side effects? I know they vary, but I am trying to get a general idea.
I know some cause weight gain...and while I wouldn't mind some boob growth, I DO mind the a$$ growth.
Also, if you have bad periods in general, did it make the symptoms better?
TIA.

Re: Birth Control Pill users. what are you on AND
I am not anymore but I was on a few:
1) nordette - no side effects
2) levlen/levora - no side effects until I started getting sick from my periods
3) ortho evra - boobs got bigger but always hurt. I had bad skin reactions to the sticky stuff on the patch.
4) Seasonale - great only having a period every 3 months, but totally lost my sex drive.

Re: Birth Control Pill users. what are you on AND
Othro tricyclene (the generic of that)
I have been on it for about 6-7 years, no side effects, it helped me with my cramps for sure though...

Yasmin: Depression

Ortho Lo: Did not help my period cramps or heavy bleeding
Generic orthotricyclen: Did not help period cramps or bleeding
Orthotricyclen: I have breakthrough bleeding, but am dealing because it's my favorite.

Re: Birth Control Pill users. what are you on AND
Yasmin. My period lasts 3 days. Minimal cramping.
I'm in a better mood after changing from Ortho Tri Cyclen and a few lbs lighter. Don't know if it's definitely the pill, but I'm happy about the changes.

same with me. I was on OTC-low, and i was very cranky and gained a few lbs.
I am now on Loestrin 24, my period is so light, barely 3 days, no craps, nada. and im in a much better mood, not as bloated.

Re: Birth Control Pill users. what are you on AND
I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen from 1999-2004, worked wonders for me. Then it went generic, and no matter what they tell you the generics are NOT exactly the same! I had horrible side effects from the generics (weight gain, horrible cramps, going through a pad an hour!).
I switched to Ortho Lo in Early 2005. I took it until this past July went DH and I decided to TTC. I didn't have any side effects and my cramps went away.
And I got pregnant the first cycle off of the pill.
