Has anyone been able to find birth control pills that don't cause severe mood changes? I'm usually really happy and upbeat. Recently started birth control pills again and I forgot how much it affects my mood. Has anyone found that different birth control has different effects on mood? Any experiences or help would be great
It eventually stopped.
I want a second baby however due to circumstances it will probably be almost a year before we can start trying for another baby. My surgeon told me that if I decided not to start trying for a baby I should go on birth control so my endometriosis doesn't come back.

Ok so I'm asking this question because my Mom is curious. How many of you were on long term birth control before you started having issues trying to conceive?
My Mom is convinced birth control (or something consumed in our generation) is causing infertility. We know birth control keeps Endo from growing quickly, so I'm not sure her theory applies with our disease. But I told her I would ask
I was diagnosed endometriosis at the age of 19 . Doctor advised to take birth control pills such as Ovaral tablet every day 1. I started using this birth control pill from 2021. Everyday i am… read more
I only have endo pain when i am not on birth control pills. Also I have never been able to have sex because the pain is too excruciating for me. Im not sure if that will help to answer the question but i tried :p
Absolutely I had very mild pain while on birth control. The excruciating pain honestly didn't start until right before I got my tubes tied. They found my Endo then and when burnt off and was pain free… read more
I was on Slynd for about 2.5 months. For me, it was terrible. It didn’t help with pain at all and I had frequent irregular bleeding. Other symptoms were: nausea, absolutely zero sex drive, weight… read more
