I'm considering taking the pill, and I was wondering what sort of side effects people have experienced. Is one pill better than the others? Let me know!
It really depends on your body, and what type of pill you take. I know some women who have gained weight, had headaches, or other weird side effects, and some (like me), don't notice anything. You should talk to your doctor about getting a low-hormone pill that has the least side effects. If you notice after a few months that your body doesn't really like that pill, you should try another one until you find one that works for you.
I totally recommend taking a low-dosage pill like Apri. I used to get the shot and it was waaaaayyy to much hormone for me, I literally went insane. I became a totally different person while I was on it. It took about 6-8 months for all of the side affects to wear off and for me to get back to my normal self (my poor fiance!) My doctor listened well and put me on a low dose, it's been the best thing ever! No cramping, no headaches, no bad side affects, shorter and lighter periods (woohoo!). I recommend talking to your doctor and going over your options. If you haven't ever used internal contraception, the pill would be the best place to start. :)
