Re: Birth Control? (tmi?)

[(Anonymous)]

In my body's case, different types of birth control have helped with heavy flow/cramps to varying degrees. The greatest reduction for me personally was when I was on Tri-Sprintec, a generic version of Ortho-Tricylen. After a few months, my periods ended up lasting only 3 days with minimal bleeding and were essentially painfree. Unfortunately, after about two years I had to be taken off any and all combo (estrogen/progesterone) pills because my blood pressure kept going up.

I then tried a generic progesterone only pill (I think it was called Camilla or something like that) for 4 months, which was okay--not as effective as the Tri-Sprintec but no major bodily issues. My major hang-up with it was that combo pills have to be taken within three hours of the same time everyday in order to provide protection, and that can be pretty difficult sometimes. (The window is much larger with combo pills, I think within 12 hours of the same timely daily.)

I then went for a month on no birth control, and OMG. My body was all "WE CAN GET PREGNANT NOW, WOOHOO!" and I ended up with a raging libido (much higher than my baseline before BC), in a near constant state of stimulation and seriously contemplating jumping men I ordinarily would have never considered as potential partners.

So then I went to the Mirena IUD, which is what I'm still using now. I'm on my third year with it. Getting it inserted was more uncomfortable than I'd been told to expect, presumably because I haven't had children and my cervical opening was not as wide as a mother's. I recommend taking the whole day off for the procedure, instead of going into work afterwards like my fool self did. Most other people I know with Mirena have either stopped having periods entirely or have a very light period several months apart. I still have a regularly monthly period (due to start any day now). It's lighter and less painful than my pre-BC periods but lasts about the same amount of time and is heavier and more painful than what I had with Tri-Sprintec. But my blood pressure is good. ::shrugs::
