hormonal BC wrong choice?
| Wed, 09-20-2006 - 12:27am |
Hi, I'm frustrated. It seems that birth control methods are a toss up of which side effects are more bothersome. So, I've been on ortho tri-cycline lo for nearly two weeks. I'll finish the pack, but don't know if I'll continue with hormones. My face has several new painful cystic legeons, I'm nauseous and bloated, and my blood pressure is up.
I'm thinking about a paraguard again. I had one before, but had it removed after a couple of years due to bad cramping. But that was a couple of years I could well afford right now. My main concerns would be cost, and whether the strings would bother my boyfriend during sex. I think with all hormones, I'll have to deal with the same side effects I'm having now, though I haven't ruled out the progesterone only merinna. I intend to ask the doctor about both when I see her at the end of the month. What do you girls think?
