Birth Control Pill.. Help Please!!!!!!!?
I have not been taking birth control pills for about 6 months now.. I took them for about 3 years.. I wasn't trying to get pregnant but I was experiencing side effects from desogen which was odd cause the first time I took it I had not problems with it..I tried ortho tricyclin lo and got severe headaches that's why they switched me to desogen... I had switched over to yaz for about a year cause I was getting them for free at the time.. I ran out and couldn't really afford it at the time & I was hearing that it was causing women to get blood clots.. I switched back to desogen and I was having a lot of side effects... Weight gain, Headaches, extreme mood swings etc... When I was on yaz all of the side effects was under control.. I am aware I probably need a low dose hormone but I don't really know much about birth control hormone levels... I need some idea on what types I should look into... Is there a generic yaz??? Oh yeah another thing... I have never ever ever had an acne problem.. I mean if I got a blemish I didn't know how to act... Now I break out on my cheeks horribly.. Could this be because I was taking birth control pills continuously for a few years and my body got use to the hormones staying the same.. now that i don't take any at all could this be why I am breaking out??? If I go back on birth control will it cause the break outs to stop???

I would try Mircette it is a lower dose of desogen and it is still a m onophasic pill so if you wish to skip a period while on it (not take t he placebo pills and go straight to a new pack) you can. The lowest would be ortho tricyclen lo but you already gave that one a try.
I was on desogen for 1 year and loved it but was unable to loose weight while on it so I went down to mircette and was able to loose weight and actually like it better
