I have tried various pills and they all make me feel very bloated and gain weight. I HATE this! I am trying to decide if I should try another low dose pill, or try and IUD. I have not had children yet. Please let me know if you have struggled with these things and found a pill that didnt cause this, or if you've had an IUD put in if you haven't had a child yet.
I truly appreciate you're advice!!
Help me choose a birth control method

I use Nuvaring. You use one ring for three weeks and then have one week off. It's a VERY low hormonal dose. I tried an IUD but it slipped and I had terrible pain, so it has to be removed.

I was on Ortho Low for about five year and since I have gotten older it was not so good to me. I went to the Dr. in March and she put me on Loestrin. You only have a three day period. I really love it. No weight gain or mood swings. I really like it.
