Considering BC
| Sun, 04-29-2007 - 7:49pm |
Hi everyone. I'm really considering going on BC, usually my bf & I just use condoms, we usually only get to see each other about every 6 weeks. but now that we're moving in together, I thought maybe it would be a better idea to be on BC...but I've never been on BC before...and I don't really know that much about it. So any advice, or feedback on different types would be good.


Hi americanbrunette, welcome to the Birth Control Board!

Hi and thanks :-) I did go and read through all of that. I'm thinking the pill might be best for me. I do have a couple questions. When it got into the pack numbers, like showing 1,1,2,2 I got a little confused. Maybe the part just didn't stick with me but I was wondering exactly what that meant? Also, it showed a couple different times about how close to the certain time to take it each time? and also about the phases? & how often do you take the pill? Thanks so much!
oh and while I don't get them a lot, I do get migraines, and the only thing that really gets rid of them is excedrine migraine. so how does that effect it? It said something about migraines, but I wasn't sure if it meant I should not use a certain kind of BC or what?

Thanks to frommrstomommy for my amazing siggy!
If you have migranes with auras, estrogen BC options are not appropriate for you. Like you see bright light, or loose vision in spots.
Good luck
Hi again hon,
