I'm dealing with some capillary issues. I've just started noticing them, and while I know creams aren't going to make the existing ones vanish, I really want to stop more from popping up. My weight isn't an issue—actually, it's quite the opposite—but I have been on birth control for a long time. There’s no history of vein problems in my family, though my mom deals with capillaries too. Should I pick up some Lipitor, or is it better to just stick with natural wild chestnut ointments?
I’ve cycled through Triquilar, then Logest, and then Yasmin. Once my period finally disappeared, I realized Yasmin just wasn't doing it for me—it felt like it was wrecking my ovaries—so I switched over to Trinovum, where one pack only comes with $4.75. I’m totally new to this forum, but this whole thread about losing your libido really caught my eye because I’m dealing with the exact same thing. I’ve been with my boyfriend for four years now, and during that time, I’ve rotated through three different types of birth control. He’s constantly begging me to stop taking them for the sake of my health, but honestly, I’m not a fan of condoms as an option.
There are two main reasons for that—I hate how they feel and I don't trust them. But right now, my sex life is basically non-existent, whereas it absolutely skyrockets during the window when I'm off the pill waiting for my period. What's the deal with those patches people were mentioning? Do they actually work just as well as standard pills?
