Soooooo my boyfriend really really wants me to go on the pill. I tried it once for 6 weeks last year and hated it, it made it impossible for me to stick to a diet & excersise regime due to making me crave a looooot of sugar and carbs and also zapping all my energy, and thus I would say it was indirectly responsible for the 7 lbs I gained in those 6 weeks. Which is why I stopped it after 6 weeks. It also made me crazy emotional and moody. I was on Alesse.
If you ladies could help me pick a pill that is right for me by sharing your stories, in particular, any recomendations you have for certain pills and why, I would greatly appreciate it!
Here's some info about me that is important in the decision:
-I have huge trouble with my weight. I have always been big--big frame, muscular, gain/hold onto weight easily, have a very hard time losing it even with a good diet and cardio routine. Last summer it took me a solid 4 months of dieting just to lose 15 pounds. I DO NOT need a pill that is going to be another thing working against me on this.
-My boobs are already a full DD/E. I do not want or need them to get any bigger thank you
-I have no skin/acne issues, never have. Just saying because "it helped clear my skin up" as a positive effect of a pill doesn't really have any bearing for me
-Potential moodiness, though it was a problem for me on Alesse, is a secondary issue to the weight gain/lethargic side effects that I noticed, I'd rather be on a pill that won't make me gain/won't make it difficult to lose weight even if it has moodiness side effects.
So far, I've read multiple claims that Seasonale, and Tri-Levlen are potential good ones for me, I've read both really good and really terrible things about Yaz/Yasmin. If anyone has personal experience with any of those brands I would love to hear it!
