after reading all of these posts it has made me feel ten times better. I have also had almost every symptom listed. I started taking this pill four months ago for the first time and for almost the entire first month I had spotting then when it was time for me to get my period it never came at all, although I did have cramping throughout. I have never been a very emotional person and since being on this pill I have cried almost every day and has had almost no patience for anything. Recently I have started having terrible nausea if I drink any alcohol at all. I have also had bloating and upper abdominal pain. My boyfriend has noticed a complete change in my personality since I have been on this pill. Although he is completely supportive and knows that it is just all the hormones I have realized that it is not worth feeling like this and I am going to have to change pills. I am constantly paranoid that I am pregnant because I never get my period and if I do it is so light I forget I even have it. If anyone has switched and has any recommendations for a better method please let me know.

I would recommend Mercet. I was on that pill before this one and I LOVED it. I only switched cuz my ex wanted me too. Worst mistake ever. But anyways I'm going to go back to that one cuz I never had any problems.

Hi,
I read your message asking for suggestions for BC. I know that people are skeptical, but I have been on the nuvaring for about five years and have not experienced the type of side effects that all of these women have listed. I was going to switch to Loestrin24 because my gyno said it was better, but now I think I'm going to stay with the ring. I like that I don't have to remember to take the pill because I'm very forgetful. I also have not noticed weight gain or abnormal acne since I started it. My period is also on time and you can even skip periods if you want to. (I haven't done that in a while so be sure to ask your doctor if that's ok) I started the nuvaring because I wanted a BC that was low hormone and this was the lowest on the market at the time. I was also not as happy with ortho tricyclen lo, but it still was not as severe as the side effects you are describing. I'm sure you can get a free sample from your doctor if they give samples. Best of luck on whichever BC you choose.
