Birth Control
"I was switched from Loestrin 21 to Apri a few months back because my periods were irregular and my doc thought Apri would be better for me. I like that there&#039;s placebo pills in Apri cause I was awful at taking 21 day packs. The first couple months were a little tough adjusting to the higher dose of hormones. I was super emotional! But that&#039;s normal. I&#039;m on month 5 now and things are fine. I&#039;m still a little emotional, but only &quot;cry at something dumb&quot; emotional. Nothing I can&#039;t handle. My periods are light and I barely have any pain. Close to no acne. My boobs seemed to have grown a bit, so that&#039;s cool. My sex drive seems to be a tiny bit lower, but I never had a crazy high sex drive in the first place. My husband and I still have a healthy sex life. I might have gained like 5 pounds or less but that might be because of my lazy ass and not the birth control :) best of all, I haven&#039;t gotten pregnant! I recommend Apri. Give it a chance and let yourself adjust to the hormones."
