I've been on many different contraceptive pills in the last couple of years, but none really seem to agree with me. The last one i was on made me into the moodieast grouchiest person and also completely put me off sex. I know this can be quite common, but was wondering what your experiences have been with the pill, as I don't realy think its good for me to keep chopping and changing?

tho, most of em are known to lower your sex lust...
Good Luck:)
talk to the doctor as they know your medical history and what would be best for you. i'm pleased that I did this cos when I was going to start on the pill I was told to go for the mini pill instead as i have in the past had migraines with a loss of vision. Apparently the pill can make the loss of vision permanent :eek:
needless to say I took the safe option of the mini pill even though it is a pain in the arse and you have to take it within one hour of the same time every day :mad:
not great if you are slightly forgetful but better than being partially sighted!:)
Pill
I agree with the others though UK Bird - Don't worry about going back to your GP - you need to find one that is right for you, and it is going to be trial and error.
Have you considered the injection? i know a couple of people on it and they seem to think it is great, on the other hand it doesn't work for everyone.
Good luck though!
Wow!! You must be THE only person who that pill's actually agreed with.
hehe about the only thing medically i have been lucky with!
Nope, that's my pill too... i've been on it for 2 years as well, apart from my boobs getting really sore for a while when i first went on it, it's been great, and i've tried other pills and they haven't been half as good for me.
Again this type of contraception is like the pill, everyone is different. I had the injection and it made my periods heavy, had periods for up to 2 weeks, painful etc. But I continued getting the injection and eventually I was very regular, light periods. I know some people have no problems whatsoever with the injection but it can cause the side effects that I had. So its a case of trial and error and eventually you find the one that suits you best.
As already said though its always best to speak to a doctor, however if somebody does mention a kind of pill you can always ask the doctor wether that pill would be suitable for you.
I saw the doctor and explained what was happening he put me on Microgynon 30 which helped me so much it made my periods lighter and more cheerful. although it still makes me depressed id rather feel like that than be ill for three weeks of the month with anaemic symptoms
Talk to your doc he/she will be able to help best
