hi,

i haven't been on birth control in years, but have decided to start up again...

i remember having issues on lo ovral (something like such?) and definitely ortho-tri-cyclen lo ~ as in i was a complete train wreck. my boyfriend was convinced i was crazy, and i'm pretty sure it's what broke us up.

i don't wanna go crazy again! i told my doc about this, and she brought up loestrin24. i'm young, a few pounds overweight, moderate acne - and i would not like those to increase! any suggestions???

whatever you do don't get the depo shot. Causes extreme weight gain and a bunch of other problems....

i take yasmin, and while i noticed some slight mood changes when i started taking it, i absolutely love it now. no effect on my weight, clear skin, very predictable and light periods, etc. i definitely recommend it.
