What is the best birth control pill to take? I am will be starting birth control soon and am wondering from personal experience what is the best birth control pill to take? I have heard there are issues with women gaining weight or breaking out while on birth control and I dont want these issues. Are there any birth control pills that you can recommend that wouldnt cause one to break out or gain weight? Or any that are non to help a person lose weight? Thanks in advance.

Hallow Dear, There are varied types of birth control pills. Some contain low progesterone and high estrogen, some are balanced while others are low estrogen and progesterone dominant pills. I do not want to bother you with the continuous and sequential and such types of pills. Generally, the women who are having estrogen dominance should take progesterone dominant pills, those with Progesterone dominance should prefer Estrogen dominant pills while the balanced women may take any type of pills. Estrogen dominant girls are usually short stature, having gorgeous breasts and their menses are heavier; while Progesterone dominant girls are taller with smaller breasts and have lighter menstrual cycles. You can decide about your hormonal balance and accordingly choose the pills. Any pills you take, they do increase weight due to water retention. Also, there is some fat deposition as these hormones are cholesterol based. With restriction on salt and dietary fat intake, you can control the weight gain. Break through bleeding usually is more common in Progesterone dominant pills; however, any pills may cause it. It is not an issue and can be controlled just by taking an additional pill. I feel you should have little more positive view towards birth control pills. The pills do get adjusted to the body eventually. I hope this helps you.
