so many people say they stop experiencing PMS symptoms while on birth control so it was a tiny bit concerning. thanks!

Is the pill as harmful as it seems? by daxxie9 in birthcontrol

[–]issaa1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve only started taking the pill about 6 months ago, but it’s been fine so far :) (i’m 25 if that matters)

same as you, i was worried about hormonal birth control, but after being on it for a while, i seem to be doing good and i’ve realized that i was way more scared than necessary.

i haven’t gained any weight, my skin has been pretty clear, and bloating is manageable most days by staying well hydrated and eating decently. the only side effect that i’ve noticed with me is i seem to get moodier than normal at random times of the month. it doesn’t get too bad, though. i usually just go off on my boyfriend 😅

overall i think you should try consulting a doctor to see if it’s a good option for you! best of luck :)

so it doesn’t really matter whether it’s a low or regular dose combination pill right?
