Birth Conrol Pill--Best one for tummy?
| Sun, 11-21-2004 - 7:39pm |
Has anyone had success with a particular birth control pill/patch in regards to stomach issues (pain, constipation, bloating )? I've noticed that every time I start back on my pill after my period, all of the horrible stomach issues resurface. I'm interested in switching but want to stay with a pill good for my skin issues too. I had a really bad reaction to Ortho-Tri Cyclen. I'm now on Tri Norinyl which is really good except... Any suggestions on brands/pills appreciated!

Hi and Welcome newmessage,
You are right about drinking water. This week I started taking my pill with food and drinking a good deal of water when I first get up in the morning. I've noticed a big difference. I read somewhere that it is the progesterone that slows digestion so maybe the water helps flush it quicker.
Thank you so much for the feedback!!
I am so glad you are feeling better.
Water is the one thing- "Alot of Us don't like,"
