text: what are the pros and cons of your birth control?? i'm currently on yasmin28 and it's working fine, i guess. i would like to try something else? orthotricyclen-lo. not as much estrogen as regular, so no weird mood swings or weight gain. they say you can have break-through bleeding in the middle of the cycle, but i haven't had that problem. however, all estrogen/progestin pills can cause migraines, and i am having them. but i can't prove that's the cause. also, it's kind of a pain to have to get a prescription, but it's better than yucky condoms.
