What is the best birth control pill for not gaining weight or having moods?

[Rose21]

Any suggestions?

 

I was on Depo for 10 months. Made me psycho. Got off it 3 weeks ago, and have been on the Ortho Tri Cyclen lo pill ever since. Have 5 more pills left, then it will of been a month.

 

My moods have been slightly better, still get depressed from time to time etc, but that could also be depo...I JUST got off depo, and the doctor said it would take a couple of months to get completely out of my system.

 

I excercise on a regular basis and eat very healthy, sweets and junk in moderation. Yet I feel like I've gained alot of weight. All of my XS and size 1 jeans still fit me, and the scale hasnt gone up, I just FEEL fat! And I feel like my love handles hang over my jeans. Maybe its just in my head. I dont have violent mood swings or * * * * * y moments like when I was on depo, but I do have times when I get exra sensitive and touchy. A little sad.

 

Should I switch, or just wait awhile longer til Depo is totaly out of my system before switching to something else?

Every woman has these moments wether on birth control or not. Just give what your dr said a fighting chance. If you keep changing your pill and method you face the possibilit of getting pregnant and wacking out your hormones more.

I'd say Yaz is probably the best (at least for me).
