Re: Updates on Birth Control       05/01/05 06:35 PM Edit Reply Quote Vicam Reged: 02/24/04 Posts: 1955 Loc: Ontario, Canada Hello, I've been on a few different bc pills. I started on triphasil which I had some bad side-effects with (mood swings, nauseau etc) which my doc attributed to the fact that there are 3 different hormone levels in the pills on a "tri" pack. So, I switched to the monophasic Demulen, which didn't cause any bad side-effects but didn't really help me either (I have endometriosis so I was lookign for something to help me with those symptoms). Now I'm on Min-Ovral which works really well, I'm able to take it consecutively for up to 7 months without a period or breakthrough bleeding which really helps my endometriosis and IBS symptoms. I think it's pretty high in estrogen though (compared to others) so it may not be what you're looking for if you're not planning on skipping periods. I didn't gain any weight on it or have any bad side-effects. Good luck! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
