Worried about comparison

Hey, on the health message board i posted about the fact that I have recently started to notice the apperance and spider veins and stretch marks on my legs. I went to my doctors today and he told me it could be due to the pill and is taking me off of it. My boyfriend and I have been together for going on 6 months and he has told me on several occasions that all his other girlfriends were on the pill as well. I now feel like my body entire body is letting me down because i cant handle something as simple as the pill, and I am even more depressed about the fact that none of his other girlfriends had any problems with it. I dont want to be compared to his ex's and its stressing me out because i dont know what to do. :(

The hormones in birth control can do some serious damage to both your physical appearance, as well as your emotional well-being. Weight gain, depression, and no sex drive are all very common side effects of the hormones in birth control. You should visit iVillage's Birth Control message board for more support.
