Question: I am having problems with non stop spitting on birth control. In May of 2015 I went for my annual and my gyno suggested I try another pill since my Ortho tri cyclen was making me slightly spot. Spotting that was quite tolerable but I took her recommendation I tried the pill Orsythia. I had the worst reaction to that pill, I was moody, my breasts hurt all day and I was bleeding through tampons. I was on that for 2 months and could not take it anymore. I went back on my original Ortho tri cyclen which also maybe me bleed for about 3 months. It made me depressed and ruined my sex life. Where I stand now is taking the pill Apri since October 2015 with regular spotting that would not quit. My current gyno suggested I stop taking the pills consistently without the placebo pills and now take the placebo pills on my pack. I am still sporting and currently taking the placebo pills in my pack of Apri. Any suggestions ? I am so frustrated and this whole process is making me depressed.

I have had internal testing done such as a ultrasound and all results came back normal besides having a cyst on my left ovary less than a CM in size. Do you suggest I find out how much an IUD is under my insurance? The apri pill has cleared up my skin nicely because i was having some hormonal acne and made my breasts larger but i am still spotting and at this moment will be taking the placebo pills of my pack for the first time in 6 months. There has to be some science to this, cant just be try whatever and see what works
