Birth Control – More balanced moods, less acne?
I’ve recently been having mood swings and my acne amount has gone up. My mum seems to think this is due to a hormonal imbalance.
Also, I have absolutely terrible cramps and nausea during my period. During such days I simply can’t stand up long enough to get anything done.
So my question is, has anyone experienced those problems and had them resolved upon taking birth control?
It is true that some birth controls can help with this, but everyones body will handle it differently. While sometimes it helps sometimes it can make the mood swings worse, also when you stop taking it you may bleed for two weeks or not have a period for a month or two. There are many kinds of birth control you should ask you obgyn about the many different kinds and what might be best for you. Chances are they will give you a month or two of a sample to see how it works for you.
I have been on a birth control before that helped regulate my period. It was also much lighter. It was ortho tri cyclen low (not real sure on the spelling) However I am prone to depression and it seemed to make it worse. The depo shot made me so very irritable and also made me spot randomly sometimes.
But remember everyone’s body will handle them differently and if your not prone to depressive thoughts that might not happen to you. Your obgyn could tell you best.
