Another BC pill question - Have you had side effects?

I was on different BC pills years ago and had horrible side effects. Ortho-tri cyclen, Loestrin, Brevicon and Ortho-Novum all made me break out, gain weight and have stomach cramps. Have they changed in the last 7 years?

Re: Another BC pill question - Have you had side effects?

I was on Yaz and had a 34 day period, i was on Ortho tri-Cyclen (regular one) and had horrible mood swing, i tried Alesse and that just screwed me all up. I finally switched to Aviane' and have not had one problem, it has been great. Stay away from Yaz is my suggesstion...

I have been on Loestrin 24 since April and I haven't had any side effects. Which is rare for me because I have side effects from most medications I take.

I had high blood pressure and very edgy, anxious most of the time.

Yaz is the only BC that worked for me. I have always had bad acne, oily skin and hair. The dr always prescribed me acne meds and none ever worked, Yaz was the only thing that made all those normal again... not a single break out on it. My insurance doesn't cover it though because they don't make a generic.

Re: Another BC pill question - Have you had side effects?

in the past year i started with Yaz since thats what i was on before dd... and i had a complete and total loss of libido... then they changed to loestrin 24... i gave it 5 months... i am losing my hair by the hand full, have high blood pressure, headaches, insane mood swings, night sweats... i went to the dr thinking it was maybe my thyroid and he said No its my BCP... i went to OB/GYN and she said absolutely thats the BCP so now im on ortho tri cyclin low and im only in 1 week.. so far so good i havent been on this since i was about 16... and i went off it because of depression.. but she said ater a baby your hormones change drasticly and to give it a shot.

I never had a problem with BCP before I got pg with DD#1. After she was born I went back on Ortho Tri Cyclen and I would feel crappy. My OB changed me to Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo and then I got pg Chat Icon

This time around I am back on Ortho Tri Cyclen and I'm having the same issues. I feel nauseous, anxious, moody, and bloated most of the time. I will not switch to the Low dose though b/c I'm afraid of getting pg again.
