Eczema Out Of Control
A Birth Control Pill with few side effects?
I know every woman is different, so what works for one might not work for another. But I was curious to see which pills women have had positive experiences with. I have tried Ortho-Tri-Cyclen Lo, Ovcon 35, Yasmin, and Yaz (low dose yasmin). I have had TERRIBLE side effects with all of them. On Ortho, my complexion went crazy after the first 3 months...I once had about 60 zits at the same time! I never had skin problems as a teenager, so this was really bad for me. On Ovcon, I gained 15 pounds and had an uncontrollable appetite. On Yasmin, I continued weight gain and developed super-dry skin...it looked like eczema, especially around my mouth and nose. I couldn't touch my face without skin peeling off. I have only been on Yaz for a month now, but I can already feel my face getting drier, and I have been eating a lot more. Maybe my body is just not cut out for the pill! I would love to hear others' experiences though...what you used and what, if any, were the bad side effects.
I've never had bad symptoms on the pill, so I can't tell personal stories. I've taken Ortho-tricyclen and Ortho-tricyclen lo... I had some weight gain on the full-strength, but the low-dose has been fine for me.
I've heard some good things about the mini pill (progestin only) for women who react badly to the combination pill (progestin and estrogen).
