Look, I'm not trying to force an opinion here, I'm just reflecting. And yeah, it hit me—those third ones were the longest... As for Yasmin... honestly, this isn't specifically about her, so I'm not just attacking them out of spite. It's just that everything surrounding these pills feels more harmful than helpful to me.
Regarding smoking, I'm fully aware of the damage it does, and I know exactly what my doctor would tell me. I mean, it’s enough just to read the warning labels on the pill packaging itself.
I just want to hear the "objective" side of this whole situation.
Thanks, everyone.😉
Two hours and eight readings later, and still nothing?
I know there are plenty of threads out there about birth control and related topics, but I’m starting this specific one because of my own unique situation. If the mods feel this should be merged elsewhere, I totally understand.
Here it is, straight and honest. I’m 26. When I was younger, I was on the pill for five years, cycling through three different brands. Why three? Because my body rejected every single one of them. First, it was Triquilar—my system couldn't handle it after two years. Then I tried Cilest for a few months before moving on to a third one—maybe Diane—but the result was the same: total rejection. My gynecologist basically told me that hormonal contraceptives just aren't meant for me.🤷
It’s been six years since I last took anything. Now, I’m reconsidering, though I have no clue which option to pick. Obviously, those first three are out. Yasmin is also off the table (we all know the deal there), and I'm lost as to what else is left. I’ve even seen names like Stediril mentioned, but honestly, I have no idea what that even is.
The main issue is that I smoke cigarettes and a few other things now, whereas I didn't back then. I'm really anxious about my past experiences, I'm worried about the smoking (there's zero chance I'm quitting), and I can't stop thinking about everything that happened with those women who were on Yasmin.
Basically, I’m looking for your thoughts on this.
