Switching BCPs, again?
| Tue, 07-06-2004 - 3:31pm |
In the past, I have been on Ortho Tri Cyclen, which made me very bloated. Yasmin, which made my hair fall out, and I am currently on Ortho Cept. Ortho Cept is working okay but I have been incredibly moody and have absolutely no desire to have sex. My face is also breaking out a little more than usual. Can anyone give me any suggestions of a better pill to try? I would really appreciate it. BTW, Ortho Tri made my face extremely clear and I would (of course) love to have that side effect back. :)
Thanks In Advance!

I never thought about OTC Lo. I just assumed that the type of progestin in those pills didn't cut it for me no matter what the dosage. I actually went to my gyn yesterday and she suggested the Nuvaring. I was actually suprised that she suggested that. I just assumed they would put me on a different type of pill. I am little scared that going to a lower dose of estrogen will make my face break out again. God, I hope not. I really hope that I like this ring. I am just so tired of switching. Yasmin was a horrible experience for me. If this ring doesn't work out then I will probably suggest OTC Lo or maybe one of the pills with norethindrone since I haven't tried that type of progestin yet. I won't start the ring until Saturday. Wish me luck. I'll have to do a search on here about the ring.
Thanks for the advice!

Good luck, if any other ring questions come up just holler!
