    I've been on a bunch of different pills and now I'm on Nuvaring. I hated all the pills but I was on Ortho the longest. I think that's because I just got tired of switching though. Then it got too expensive for me and I got on Nuvaring. Just whatever you do, never ever, even if you think it's a good idea, never get on Nuvaring. It's the worst thing ever. I'm just too scared to go off it because I'm afraid of what my pd's could be (I've been on BC since I was 16 and my pd's before BC were HORRIBLE), and I'm too scared to switch because I'm afraid of weight gain.

    BC sucks.

    Hahahahaha

    Ortho Tri-Cyclin made me gain a TON of weight. I switched to Mirena and while it has its downsides (seriously effed up cycles and such - makes me miss knowing I'm going to get my period every four weeks, on Wednesday at noon - no joke) overall it's nice to not have to worry about taking a pill every day.

    LOL I have tried them all and they all turn me into the wicked witch of the west! Implanon, ortho tri(and regular) cyclen and Yaz were the worst. I actually ended up with heart palpitations, weight gain and a bunch of other fun stuff while on them. I pretty much just regulate my cycles now and stay away from BC.

    I'm on Lutera and I have been a psycho b-word lately. I'm thinking once my year is up (which is soon) I'm going to go to a different doctor and try and get a different prescription, though I was told that what I'm on has the lowest dose of estrogen? Aye yi yi!

    Ugh, you're lucky. I'll go 3-4 months with no TOM, then I'll get it for 2 weeks, then the next month again for 2 weeks, then spotting. Then the cycle repeats itself. It's sooooo annoying.

    So I switched to Ortho Tri-Cyclen in June and have noticed a major mood change. I am more irritable, not my same happy self and my boyfriend has even noticed. I am wondering if anyone else has had the same problems?

    LOL Maybe that's what makes it so effective?

    Cranky = Not tonight.
