I just started bc in July for the first time and its weird. I can feel thechange in my hormonal levelsand and I honestly don't knownif its a good thing or bad. I'm losing a lot of hair and I'm afraid I'm going to have a bald spot soon but it's been nice not having the normal double periods i always get every month. Im not sexually active and just use it to regulate my hormones. Its hasn't helped lpeer my labido which sucks but im concerned about my hair loss. Talk to your obgyn and get tests done before you decide to take bc

I was only ever on the pill once for about 6 months after I had my son. The worst thing it did was make my milk dry up. Besides that I didn't notice any other side effects. I'd much rather go without birth control and be free of those fake hormones though so that's why I no longer use it.

I don't remember because it was 10 years ago but I think you can make yourself skip your period if you don't take the placebo pills during your period. It's important to always remember to take it. I watched a youtube video with anna akana saying taking bc pills make you feel like you are pregnant all the time so it can make you extra moody when your hormones are all over the place.

Irregular periods for about 6 months after the IUD was put in and weird cramping. I also immediately gained 15 pounds and my boobs sagged. But I haven’t had a period in over a year so I’ll take the weight gain and saggy boobs over periods any day.

Complete shit. I was on my period for 16 days my second month on it. I'd literally get it about twice a month. My mood was constantly irritated as well. Switched to the patch and love it.

Unpleasant. Mood swings, headaches and migraines. I was forever changing brands to suit.

Horrible. All the hormone ones gave me really had side effects the worst was the pill for me and then the injection was going well until the normal one was nationally put of stock (some trade deal) and they gave me the one for pre menopausal woman without telling me and then the side effects started
