Hi, my daughter was put on birth control to regulate her periods and for her acne, which was really bad. She was 17 at the time. She was put on the regular pill that everyone starts off with I believe, ortho something or other. Worked great on regulating her periods AND her acne.
The nausea started shortly thereafter and the vomiting....................
I am wondering what is a good type of birth control to take for acne and that will regulate my period, but won't effect my hormones too much?
I have tried mulitple birth control such as ortho-tricyclen and multiple others that I can't remember the names to. They each helped with my acne and to regulate my period significantly but I didn't like taking them.
I had other side effects from birth control so I decided to get off of it and the acne returned. I tried everything OTC for acne. I even tried proactive and it did nothing for me. So then I realized it was related to my hormones. I found a natural treatment. It's an herb called vitex fruit. It can take a couple of your cycles to take affect. It works by balancing your hormones naturally with your pituitary gland. It had natural estrogen properties.
Hi! Could you help me with a question on birth control pills? I was on a triphasic pill for years (Tri Sprintec). It was good for keeping acne under control (which is why I originally went on it at age 20). But in the last few years I began suffering from extreme fatigue, lots of water retention, vaginal dryness, etc, and as all my tests were normal my PCP suggested the pill was causing it.
What's the best to choose? I heard all birth control leads to weight gain & some causes acne & stuff. I'm totally not looking forward to that but oh well. Any advice/opinions?
Diane 35 is a medication used widely for treatment and control of acne. Though it does provide some birth control, it is prescribed only for acne. The instructions with the pills say clearly that those on this pill should be on other non-hormonal forms of birth control eg condoms and to not use any other birth control pill while on diane 35. more information here: chealth.canoe.

When I go for my 6 week check up, I am getting the mirena birth control. I have been on every birth control pill known to man and none seemed to work well with my body. I used mirena before I had baby #3 and thought it was great. Didn't have to remember to take a pill every day at the same time, and it is good for 5 years!!!
Hey, I'm 16 and my boyfriend and I have sex frequently. We use condoms, but I want to be put on birth control. How do I go about talking to my step mom about it? I don't want her or my dad knowing that we have sex.
I'm really confused on what birth control does and why it can be so important. Any insight?

But I just feel sick...has anyone else felt this way with these pills and are they really help full with treating symptoms??
I recently changed my birth control pills from junel Fe 1/20 to Azurette. I had been on Junel fe for years, and was on Azurette before as well. I decided to switch back to Azurette because it helps my acne. However, I was advised to use a backup method for a month when exchanging. I finished my Junel Fe and got my period, then started Azurette on the Sunday after my period. I had the condom break the following Sunday after.
So I've been thinking about what method I want to use after my baby comes but since I've never used birth control other than condoms idk what would be best. I don't want anything that's going to make me gain a lot of weight or give me acne. Ive heard a lot of bad things about iud's as well. What methods work best for you women and why ?
