    This is a very individual thing. What works for one, may not work for another. Your best bet is to start by talking with your Dr and having him give you a few samples. You may end up having to change it up a few times before you find one that works best for you and doesn't give you a lot of side effects.

    It will also change over time. I took Nordette for years (a low dose birth control) and it was fine. Gave me the least amount of issues. I just went through a few weeks of taking another low dose birth control and I was a basket case.

    Yep, Lanabear is right. Every person is different and so is every birth control pill. It isn't limited to the pill though. There is the shot, the ring, and IUD's. You may want to stay open minded when it comes to birth control, but always remember that birth control does not protect against STD's, so it is still wise to use a condom when having sex.
    ~Today, any person can fight the battles of one day It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternity's- yesterday and tomorrow, that we break down. It is not the experience of today that drives people mad. It is the remorse of bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.
    Let us therefore, live but one day at a time.~
