#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I had real problems with the pill...I tried all sorts of brands until I tried Brevicon. Its kind of like anti-inflammatories. Estrogen is a synthetic hormone (the ones in the pill, not the ones our body makes
) and you can get different types of dosages. There are also different types of birth control as well. My sister didn't like the pill at all, and got the depo shot. Now, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but its similar to the pill as far as hormones go. There's the patch, or if you can't find a pill/hormone combination that you like different methods of birth control pills. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I wrote down what was wrong with me on each pill that I tried, and it took about 6-8 months to find something that worked with me. I've now been on this brand for 7 years. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
