Birth control methods

Just want to know my options on birth control. Ones that wont give me mood swings or weight gain, or other major side effects. I've read on the pill labels that it can cause ovarian cysts. My mom had them because of the pills and I saw the amount of pain she was in. Before all I used was condoms but I don't want to worry every month if I'm pregnant or not. My plan is to be on it for two years only then go back to condoms.

I spoke with her yesterdy, and I was interested in iud for 10 years. She told me the only side effect is more menstrual bleeding. But is that really true. Its hard for me to believe that it haa no other side effect.

Hello,
You can discuss the option of birth control with your doctor and then start with the prescribed birth control measure. You can use depo provera shots or Implanon.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
