Which birth control pill are you on?

Strange As Angels · 06-10-2003, 02:04 AM

...And what kind of side-effects (good or bad) have you experienced?

Right now I'm on Mircette. I haven't really experienced any side-effects, but I'm thinking about switching pills. I need a stronger one.

shaniqua · 06-10-2003, 02:07 AM

the candy-coated horse urine type!

ammy · 06-10-2003, 02:22 AM

just switched from ortho-tri to ortho-tri lo - no side effects from either.

not like that will help you in any way whatsoever, considering BC effects everyone completely differently.

i can't get pregnant. b/c i already am.

BlueStar · 06-10-2003, 03:30 AM

Ortho-Tricyclen Lo. No side-effects other than losing some weight. I had horrible problems with Mircette.

death pill, from what i've heard

my ex was on alesse 28 and it was badass

my current g/f is on othro-trideathlene, which has worked for her so far...she definitely has been starting her periods MORE irregularly since she started taking them last year (weird huh?)

obscured01 · 06-10-2003, 09:27 AM

Right now - nada. Before I was on the ortho evra patch, which was convenient, but a little annoying and did nothing to prevent cramps / heavy flow. Before that I was on ortho tri cyclin... which is what I plan on going back to once I quit procrastinating going to the doctor.

But yeah, the ortho tri cyclin gets a thumbs up from me. No horrible cramps, headaches, etc.

oui henri · 06-10-2003, 09:33 AM

Alesse

i used to be on Diane 35 but it's not supposed to be used as a birth control
i liked how it was candy coated

Alesse. I've had absolutely no problems.

dusty · 06-10-2003, 12:13 PM

i used to be on ortho-cyclen, but i was getting blood clots and then one day the pills stopped working.
it was fun

crescentfresh · 06-10-2003, 12:53 PM

cyclexa. I know no one else who is on it, which makes me wonder.

spacegirl147 · 06-10-2003, 01:07 PM

no, but I don't know if I could do that. The nicotine patch is hard enough to wear. So itchy.

Hmm, has anyone ever switched to the generic equivalent of whatever name brand pill you're taking and had any problems? I went to the doctor today and she told me that some people don't do well on the generic stuff, even though it's supposed to be the exact same thing as the name brand pill.

I did. I was worried at first because the pills were bigger, but it was exactly the same.

bornentertainer · 06-10-2003, 08:32 PM

I'm on Ortho-Cyclen right now, so far so good, I haven't been knocked up yet!
I used to be on Alesse, and it totally fucked me up. I would get 2 week long periods randomly. :erm

BeautifulLoser · 06-10-2003, 08:40 PM

I'm on Lo-Ovral, I don't know anyone else that is. But they're great, because I can take all the white ones, skip the pink ones, and not have a period for months with no problem. Aaaaah.

Alesse gave me 2 week long periods too. And baaaad mood swings. Eew.

Affect · 06-10-2003, 08:41 PM

Abstinence!

Krafty · 06-10-2003, 08:51 PM

I was first on Mircette and then on Ortho-Cyclen and now I'm on Ortho-Tri-Cyclen. Is Orth-Tri-Cyclen-Lo any less effective? Not that it matters because I'm on birth control to regulate and decrease my flow, but it's still good to know.

Human Replica Droid · 06-10-2003, 08:54 PM

I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen, and it made my skin awesome. I need to get my prescription refilled.

yeah whatever · 06-10-2003, 09:01 PM

i've never gained weight from being on the pill. maybe i have worms

miss worId · 06-10-2003, 09:17 PM

my mom said that if I do really well in school next year that I can start on the pill next June. YAYYYYYY!!

it will save me tons of money on anal lube!
