I know birth control is different for every one but lately my periods have been physically making me sick and I can't take it anymore. my moh soley takes birth control to help her with her symptoms. What birth control do you ladies use?

I use apri it's a generic, but I know a lot of docs' will prescribe yaz or yasmin for problems with periods.

yaz, it has been wonderful including 2 day periods without the grumpyness, moodswings, and cramps

I take Zovia and I have short periods with minimal cramps...I don't know the difference in hormones from yaz to zovia, so you can ask your doc about both of them

I'm on jolessa, its generic seasonique, so its a three month pill. Though, I think that makes my cramps worse. I used to et horrible cramps. That's why I started the pill when I was 14. The monthly.pills seemed to work well, but I get horrible cramps w the three month. I feel like my body is trying to et back at me for skipping two months.

I will be going back to my iud. I have a clotting disorder so I cant take regular bc because they cause clots. But my mirena lessened my period after 2 months and they gradually got lighter.

I'm on Microgestin and love it! No cramps, 3 day periods, and no acne! :D
