Ugh, I feel like I just cannot find a good birth control for my body! I started out on Ortho Tri-something-or-other lol But for some reason, it made me really nauseated and tired every time I took it, even if I made sure to take it with food. I attempted a couple times to go on progestin-only methods (both on pills and Depo Provera) but apparently they just make me bleed constantly. Not just like irregular spotting, but a heavy flow all the time. I refused to get another shot of Depo because I had bleeding for 2 months straight and the doctor said that might continue for up to a yearNo thanks... I guess I don't have enough natural estrogen for my body to handle progestin-only.
I'm now on Aviane but it makes me bloat so badly! I've actually been eating better and working out again lately but I could not feel chubbier.Ironically during the week I'm off the pills though, I feel like my normal size. I know a lot of BC will make you bloaty, but it's so disgusting and frustrating to feel fat 3 weeks out of the month! Has anyone else had problems with finding a good BC for their body? What do you use?
