    Which bcp is right?

    I was on bcp when I was in high school, but since having children, I have been on the shot. I want to switch back to bcp but I don't know which one would be best. I need a miracle pill that will help with headaches, mild depression, will increase libido (cause right now I don't have any!!!) and won't cause weight gain. My dr is trying me on Lessina (generic Alesse). I have seen mixed reviews about it. Can anyone on Lessina give any advice? Are there any suggestions on what I can try if this does not help?

    Pills effect everyone differently and its a trial and error thing. Good luck !

      ahhh lessina was the pill I tried and I got off of it cause it made me have massive weight gain
      I had stretch marks
      it was bad
      I also was very very sensitive to the sun
      I hear yaz actually helps keep your weight down
      but I don't think any pill will help with depression
      thats another kinda pill

        I took Yaz and it made me crazy! I was upset all the time and blew up over the smallest things. I didn't notice a weight gain but I just started the Nuva ring and so far I like it!
