Which birth control should I use?
I was on the pill for about 6 months and it gave me horrible acne. I have been off it now for about 5 months but I've been looking to go back on some method of birth control. What method should I try now if I had such a horrible reaction to the pill?
It depends on what you were on. There are different versions of the hormones present in pills, and some are more likely than others to cause these side effects. Tell your doctor what pill you were on and what the side effect was, and s/he can make an educated guess about why that happened and what type of pill might produce less of that same side effect.
