Birth Control Destroying My Face?

Mar 8, 2013

I just recently got back onto birth control, I have about 5 pills left from my first pack and it has broken me out soooo bad. I don't remember my skin reacting like this last time I was on it. Is my body just getting used to it again? I'm taking ortho-novum 1/35.

I'm not on birth control but my sisters are. they found it was fine for them but it depends the person and the pill.

It all depends on the pill. Check for any side effect warnings on the box.

I changed my bc after my old one had been wreaking havoc on my face for months. Now I'm on mononessa and I don't have a single zit right now. It's all aabout hormones and body chemistry and that stuff changes so you might just need a different pikl.

I had the same problem, acne but mostly weight gain. I'm on cazizant it is somewhat new. But then I discovered Lush dash products like cleansers and moisturizers and toners. And I can say it saved my life. I never tried lush before but I thought since it's all natural, it might work. Give it a try. But don't order it from the us. Get it from the uk. Www.lush.co.uk everything is 50% cheaper then us pricing.

Try talking to your doctor aabout a lower dose estrogen in the pill you take, I know I had to try a couple before I found the pill that didn't make me break out! I use low-ogestrel! The lower the dose, the less likely you will be to break out!
