No grief from me. Kudos in fact. You are taking control of your destiny.
All hormonal BC pills are 99.94% effective. They just have different side effects, and those vary from one woman to the next. The only way to tell which is best for you (as far as side effects go) is to use one and take note of changes. Changes to watch for include : weight gain, acne, excessive moodiness, loss of libido, breast enlargement, dryness or irritation of your vagina, and others, I'm sure. If the side effect is not wanted or is problematic, change brands. They are all equally effective at preventing pregnancy. Make sure that you two use condoms for the first month as your body adjusts to the hormones. If you change brands, you do not have to go thru this 1 month wait as long as you do not go thru a period without the pills. If at any time you are put on antibiotics, know that antibiotics reduce the effectiveness of BC pills. I do not know by how much, so you will want to use condoms for the rest of that month, also, of course, if you miss pills.
Take care, Good for you, and Good Luck!!
there is no better brand as every girl is different and its what brand is best for you, not for everyone else the doctor will determine which brand of it is best for you if you smoke though them your nnot supposed to take brth control
Ocella and other Yaz products have a history of injury. Do a back-up check on the BC before using it.
I am 16 I use ocella it made my breast big in 2 days
it all depends on your body...every one is different
