A GOOD BC - Please Post Yours - Birth Control Message Board

Okay - I have tried SO many BC pills and none work. I've searched through threads and only have seen information on the "bad pills" to take.

If you love your pill and experience low side effects, can you please post what you're on?

Thank you SO much in advance!

I know that there's a lot of hype about it and many people will disagree with me but I really really like the Patch (ortho-evra). 2 of my SILs use it also and absolutely love it.

Neither of them have had any side effects whatsoever. I get a little crampy and slightly nauseated for a couple of days when starting my first patch after my flow but nothing untolerable.

I've never tried anything else but both my SILs have and said they'll never go back to any of the others.

How long have you been on the patch? Have you personally had any side effects?

Thanks for the info Kelley.

I started taking Ortho Cyclene today instead of Yasmin so hopefully it works well for me. I liked the Ortho TriCyclene I was on for 9 years, but it made me way too moody & angry the week prior to my period.

Does anyone have experience with Ortho Cyclene [Sprintec 28 is the generic that I'm taking]

I've been on the patch since December...so almost 6 months. My SILs have both been on it for several years.
