Good contraceptive pill to take?

I’m 26 years old and I have only been on the Yasmin pill since last November. Since starting it I have been really moody and it just doesn’t suit me. Whats more I have still got pimples at the age of 26, lol, lucky me hey. Can anyone suggest a good contraceptive pill to take?

Thanks all.

Answer #1

You really should talk to your doctor. I dont think one pill is better than another as such, it just depends on what works best with your body chemistry. Talk to them and ask them to switch to another form (or consider the patch perhaps?)

Answer #2

Thank you very much! I will take a look at ivillage.com. I do hope that I can get onto the right pill soon. Take care. :)

Answer #3

There are a ton of different contraceptive pills and combinations out there. I take ortho cyclen (norgestimate/ethinylestradiol)

I’ve been on it for about 4 years now. It’s great! I was moody for about the first 3 months. My acne between cycles cleared up but I do still break out once a month but usually not bad.

I used to get crippling cramps but don’t anymore with this pill. (my gyno even gave me the ok to use it like a continuous pill and skip the placebos so I can skip my period.)

Happy pill searching and Goodluck!

ps - I recommend taking a look at the birth control message board on ivillage.com There are some ladies there with invaluable info.
