Does Birth Control make you cranky or moody forever?

A hormonal birth control that wont make me moody?

• Has anyone ever used a hormonal birth control that doesn't make them a b***h or lose their sex drive? I've tried Aleese and Ortho-Low....I only feel normal when I've been off my pills the week of my period. I hate feeling so crazy! My husband wants me to go off the pills but I'm terrified to just use condoms. We use both condoms and the pills now to be extra safe. So if you have any advice on a pill that hasn't made you crazy let me know!

• Answer:

  Hormonal birth control of any kind does the same thing to me. I simply have never been able to use it. There are other options outside of condoms alone. There are IUDs that are non-hormonal vs. the hormonal ones, diaphrams, and cervical caps. Also, if you do opt for condoms, you should include spermicidal jelly or the like. Talk to your gynecologist or county health dept. They will be able to tell you what would be the best options for you. Best of luck! *
