Withdrawal or pull out method vs Combination birth control pill

Annoying to have to fuss with putting the condom on, and I don’t enjoy the change in sensation while using a condom. But I feel protected against pregnancy. I occasionally rely on pull out method, and the anxiety over my partner accidentally not timing this correctly (ie not pulling out soon enough) negatively affects my sexual experience.

Still can get pregnant with pull out method or anal

I get pretty sick on the pill and with same partner 3.5 yrs no issues but recognize not most effective practice.

The only negative is loss of sex drive, other than that it has helped my mood

My moods increased, I lost 50 lbs, and my acne got better. I was using Aviane before this and I was ovulating on it. Since switching to Vienva I have not had any issues.

I’ve experienced these issues around or during my period

Had nausea the first week of both months 1 and 2. Only side effect was significant breast and butt enlargement, which led me to stop taking it.

no noted side effects very happy with this medication was switched to sprintec and not happy at all with sprintec

I actually didn't really have any "normal" side effects with this pill, I felt like I was mostly normal. But I did notice that my hair was gradually thinning, and it felt like it triggered some form of chronic hair loss for me. Interestingly enough, while it wasn't a huge issue, I noticed that I had "stinky" periods? I stopped having them after I stopped the pill.

Being on this actually helps me to get fewer menstrual migraines. I don’t seem to have had any truly bad side effects over the years I’ve been taking it.

I got major mood swings when skipping the placebo week, which is why I stopped.

I love my birth control

Overall discomfort.
