Birth Control
"I have &quot;white coat syndrome&quot;, therefore my gyno felt that the mini pill made sense due to high blood pressure. I originally wanted a combo birth control to help with acne. I asked her about side effects and I guess I could have researched more, but since she said it was the only option besides an iud. I&#039;ve been on it for 7 weeks now and at first the mini pill was wonderful. My period was shorter and less cramping. Since then, my skin has been broken out since it increases oil production. I look terrible. I can&#039;t have sex since I&#039;ve been bleeding for 2 weeks since my period started. It&#039;s not breakthrough bleeding- it&#039;s like another period. My mood isn&#039;t effected, but I feel less confident because I&#039;m either retaining water or gaining weight."
