For Birth Control "I am still trying to find the right birth control for me, but this is not it. I was an emotional wreck, constantly crying, fighting with my boyfriend, and had no energy whatsoever. Only pro is it made my bleeding become normal again, also had zero sex drive, and my breasts did not grow like all other pills have made them."

For Birth Control "I was put on Desogen after continuous bleeding on Ortho Tri Lo. My practitioner thought I needed higher hormones. Desogen stopped all the spotting, but it killed my sex drive. Even when I did have any sexual desire, I didn't get the physical effects of arousal, like lubrication. It made sex completely unfun even on the rare occasion that I wanted to do it at all. I gained weight while on it, but I started it pretty young, and I know weight gain is pretty common around that time."

For Birth Control "Since I have been on it less than a month, my breasts are painfully tender as well as HUGE. I'm extremely moody and bitchy, weight gain/bloated, not sure which, nausea, 0 sex drive. The only good side is I'm extremely project-oriented and on task."
