Birth Control

[DrPepper23]

Hello,
I am 31 years old.  I have OCD.  I was writing to find out what the best birth control pill might be for me.  I had a problem with acne in teenage years, but it seems to be under control now, not sure if its becuase the pill or not.  I have had a low sex drive lately also.  

I was debating between Ortho Cyclen, Ortho Tri Cyclen or Othro Tri Cyclen Lo.. I am currently on Ortho Cyclen but I was thinking why am I pumping all this hormones into my body each month.  

Me and my partner also use condoms as backup.

I am even willing to try other brands if 1 is better?

I guess I just dont under the difference between them all and the effect on your body good/bad.

Thanks!

When I go for my 6 week check up, I am getting the mirena birth control. I have been on every birth control pill known to man and none seemed to work well with my body. I used mirena before I had baby #3 and thought it was great. Didn't have to remember to take a pill every day at the same time, and it is good for 5 years!!!

The ortho tri low is what I went to. I was on ortho tri cyclen normal but like u said why so many hormones. It made me moody!! And I broke out. On the low within one week my skin cleared up and I wasn't so moody plus my period was lighter. After this baby hubby is getting 'fixed' I've been responsible for bc for 11 yrs now its his turn lol. This will be baby number 3 I'm 30 he is 34 and were done!!
