Birth Control Type?

[leann08]

I am wondering what is a good type of birth control to take for acne and that will regulate my period, but won't effect my hormones too much?
I have tried mulitple birth control such as ortho-tricyclen and multiple others that I can't remember the names to. They each helped with my acne and to regulate my period significantly but I didn't like taking them. All of them have caused me to have an increase in appetite, nausia, and some have caused multiple periods in the beginning (which I know is likely sometimes). When I am not on the pill I just feel overall 'better'.

So my question is, what is the best kind of birth control pill that won't cause increasing appetites, multiple periods at first, and will still work as effective?

I have seen a dermatologist and the main problem is that i don't have a serious problem with acne, but random breakouts. Also, I have breakouts on my back and he told me birth control would be a good choice for that. I have actually tried some different prescritions of washes and creams and they either irrited my skin horribly or didn't work.
Thanks for sharing. Let me know how the Loestrin works!

just to share...i never had acne until i started taking birth control.  I have taken 2 different kinds of BC and hated them both...Cyclessa and Ortho-tricyclen lo.  I'm getting ready to try Loestrin and will let you know how it goes. Have you ever considered seeing a dermatologist instead? I think that is the way to go. I was prescribed a benzoyl peroxide wash and clindamycin phosphate roll-on and it worked great.  I was on it for like a year or so and hardly ever break out anymore.

Well...not sure about the appetite. But your not really getting "multiple periods". Your body has to adjust to the changing in horomones before it can go back to normal...it actually has to happen. Sometimes it just causes in b/w bleeding...not actually a period. Just your body changing to what its being given.
