Birth control HELP

I'm 17 and going on the birth control pill but extremely indecisive about what brand to use. I prefer something that helped my skin and didn't effect my weight. I know everybody reacts differently, just wondering what brand has worked well for some people?

Tell your doctor your concerns. Different brands work well for different people, and one pill might cause those exact issues for one person and could clear up those issues for another. Your doctor can select one that is most likely to address those concerns for you specifically. Give it a few months before you make a decision. BCPs can cause initial side effects, but often they dissipate or go away once your body has adjusted.
