No side-effect birth control?
So I've been on birth control since I was 14, (before I was even sexually active) and I've tried different birth control pills and also the 3 month Depo shot. I got off the shot because I gained bout 20 lbs on it, it seemed I was always on my period, I also got depression, mood swings, acne, no sex drive and other fun side effects.. So my question is, does anyone know of a birth control pill/patch/shot/implant with low or no side effects? Thanks in advance.

All hormonal birth control has side effects, you can choose one that is a low dose hormone which has less side effect – like Novo ring, or mini pill. There are pros and cons to each, discuss your options with your health care provider. The only thing that is side effect free are barrier methods like condoms or the diaphragm and spermicide.
I was on the nuva ring a few months back and was told it is supposed to have the least side effect because of the slow constant release of hormones. For me and my sister though it was still too much. Your not alone feeling out of control emotionally on birth control.
For me the Mirena IUD (VERY low level of hormones released locally) did the trick. I only got ONE side effect: no periods. Which is normal on Mirena. I didn't complain. :)
If you want to be sure of absolutely NO side effects, you'll have to resort to barrier methods like condoms.
you will maximum possibly supply up having the random emotional outbursts after yet another month or so on the pill. Your physique is in basic terms puzzled with all the extra advantageous hormones from the pills. that's going to probable kind them out quickly. while you're nevertheless having matters in a month or so, call up the well being care expert that prescribed the pills. they might positioned you on a different delivery administration pill that ought to no longer supply you those area-outcomes.
I'm sorry, not to my knowledge there are no birth controls out there that don't have potential side effects
