Effects of Contraceptive Pills

I took some for like one year and for me it has no effect. It even give me a great skin, LOL! I mean I use to have pimples once in a while like when my period is coming but when I start to take pills, I started to enjoy my face without any allergies, I aso didn't gain weight and have no problem in my appetite! Maybe you need to change your brand?

The hormones in contraceptive make your cycle more regular, and help with other things like making your periods lighter and perhaps clearing acne. Unfortunatly they have bad side effects too. When your body becomes used the hormones, it is difficult for your body to adjust to not having them anymore. So by stopping the pill, your body is thrown out of whack. Without contraceptive I never had difficult periods, so I have chosen not to use hormones anymore. I am using a non-hormonal form of birth control called Para Guard, or better known as the copper T IUD. (They do make a hormonal IUD as well). It is a tiny device, the size of a quarter, inserted in the cervix. It was uncomfortable at first, but now I don't even notice it's there. With it, I don't have to worry about birth control for 10 years. I have been on it for 3 or 4 months now and haven't given it a second thought.

I want to stop taking my pills as well but it is a need for me. The effects of the pills on me are tenderness of my chest and appetite in food so yeah if i dont control it surely i will gain weight..
