Birth control pills in my opinion are horrible! I was on the iud for five years& never had any complications. I tried out two low dosed bc pills & I couldn't finish either any of the first month packs. Minestrin had me breaking out and made me bloated with some chest pain. Lo loestrin seemed like it was working, I felt nauseous but it was bearable, it cleared up my acne also. The only thing that made me stop taking it was that I was getting a leg pain on my calf I immediately discontinued it
Hello, I'm taking Lutera right now and its suppose to be a low dose hormone pill. It's also my first time using birth control pills. The worst pain during sex was the last time I had it which was in the middle of my cycle. I'm thinking about switching to the non-hormonal IUD since there are no hormones. What do you think about IUD's? How did you get over the pain?
Hello, I doubt your increased pain is caused directly from the birth control. I have tried many different kinds of birth control, and I didn't start experiencing painful intercourse until I started having Ovarian cysts, each month a woman has normal functional cysts, and these can sometimes get larger due to different types of birth control, what kind are you on? You can try switching pills and seeing if the pain becomes less. I have experienced tons of pain over the years, I'm 28 now, and it can also depend on where you are in your cycle.
