Birth Control/birth control woes.

Question
I can't seem to find a pill I don't hate. I've taken Cryselle (which made me breakout like mad and gain weight), Tri-Sprintec, (which made me depressed/v. moody), and Aviane (where I had my period the entire pack). All I want is a pill that doesn't make me break out obscenely, have my period for months at a time, or make me miserable. Thoughts?

Answer
Hi Nala,

Thanks for your question. I don't recommend the birth control pills, any kind, because of risks and side effects. Is it possible to use some non-hormonal method of birth control at this time? YOu can email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and we can talk more about it. I don't think there is a birth control pill that doesn't have any or all of the side effects you mentioned.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
