Hi, I was wondering what birth control pills do you girls take... if any I was wondering if anyone is on or tried mircette. I am considering taking that or ortho tri cyclin for my skin. did anyone gain weight on them. I am 5'7 and am 127lbs so i guess id be considerd thin, but would love to be 112! I am dieting right now. so anyhow what do you girls use.

I would like to know this too for post baby. So weird to think about BC after TTC for so long.

Hi, I'm a very thin cyster. Have been taking bcp for years. At the moment I'm taking Dianne. It works great for me, especially for my skin, though I'm not sure it's available in the US. I've also tried Yasmin which works well too. Neither made me gain weight.

Thanks for you info..sometimes its hard to get awnsers from people. my skin is breaking out pretty bad right now since i have stopped the pill.

I really miss when it was clear. i took yasmin but had to stop because i couldnt handle it. it gave me heart palps and bruises. i excercise alot and i think the diruetic in it made my potassium levels screwed up. so now im going to try mircette maybe....i heard its good for acne. but has a high blood clot risk.

sucks. oh well. i cant keep having cysts and acne though.

Hi there - I took Mircette for a few years and it was ok, but I liked Ortho Cyclen (not Tri Cyclen) much better. Didn't gain any weight from it, and it made my skin nice and clear. I think that's one of the best pills for PCOS. I HATED Yasmin, and would strongly urge against it. Gave me crazy mood swings, I was dizzy all the time - and my hair was a mess - shed constantly. Didn't have that problem with the Ortho.

Thanks for all your guys info...i will maybe try ortho cyclin then...first since its supposed to be a much safer pill than mircette ive heard.
