Should i go on Birth control which one is best?

I'm 26 year old female with hyperthyroidism, graves disease and some how a mix of hashimotos (sp).
I am looking for another form or birth control like the pill. I was wondering which brand other women with hyperthyroid are on. I personally don't trust it but I am not looking to get pregnant at this time and would only be on it for a year or two. Does anyone have any recommendations?  Or do you recommend not to go on birth control.

I can totally understand why you want to go on it. I was in your shoes over 20 years ago and certainly know how you feel.

Unfortunately birth control ( while I was hyperthyroid too) completely ruined my thyroid and if I could go back - I never would have touched any of that synthetic estrogen poison.

I can't tell you on any certain product thats safer or not. - None of it is. If you research that pill you will uncover so many things that may change your mind on not even using it - period.
