Birth Control
"I&#039;m in my teens struggling with very oily acne prone skin since I was 10 so I was given this birth control as a last resort to clear my skin before my junior year. I am on the 4th pill of the third row of the pack (this is my first pack) and once I finish this pack it will be the last time I go on birth control. Definitely wasn&#039;t the wonder drug I expected. I was very nauseous the first two weeks when I would wake up in the morning. I&#039;m glad it was during the summer because if it was during school I wouldn&#039;t have felt good enough to go. It most definite wasn&#039;t worth feeling like garbage. It cleared up cheek acne but caused painful breakouts along the jaw line and mouth. I did numerous things before to combat acne such as change my diet to plant based (vegan), use topical treatments, and drink the amount of water I needed daily so I assumed it was my hormones. My period was very regular which should&#039;ve been a sign that I was balanced and didn&#039;t need this junk in my body. I knew exactly when it would come but now on my 3rd row of the pack I am spotting? This is an issue for me because I always had a regular period. I&#039;m going to solve this the organic way. I&#039;ve decided to ditch this poison. My message to everyone is that if you&#039;re going on this just for acne it&#039;s not worth it. Try taking out dairy or gluten first from your diet to see if that&#039;s causing you to break out. Acne killed my self esteem but I realized I must accept and love what I cannot change. Best wishes to everyone!"
