    Which birth control should I speak to my dr. about? Help!

    Hi everyone.

    I have a lot of cysts in my breast, and the doctors say as long as they don't grow I'm fine.

    I was on the birth control patch and it had made my right breast extremely swollen, the lumps (on both my breast) were bigger, I was almost always sick on it. One thing I loved though-I wasn't feeling so tired as I normally do. If it wasn't because of the lumps in my breast growing and it being swollen, I'd probably still be continuing the patch.

    I was wondering, because of this issue, what birth control pills should I speak to my doctor about when I see her in 3weeks? I was considering Lybrel, Seasonique, or Ortho Tri-Cyclen LO.

    Anyone use any of these and have any experience they'd like to share? Are they good options to speak to my doctor about? Will I go through the same problem as I did on the patch (the lumps growing)?

    No one suggest depo or any IUD's...I'm not into any of those.

    Thanks!

    I'm not sure in regards to the cysts. But I will comment that if you are not into depo, you more than likely will not Luke Seasonique. Essentially the same thing.
