birth control
"Positives: I've been on this pill for over a year and it's alright; I'd be terrified to try another one. 3-day, perfectly timed period with light bleeding compared to my natural heavy and often painful one. My skin is pretty clear and I now forgo makeup altogether. 

Negatives: I have had increased headaches, ranging from 0-3 per week depending on my stress level, but if you can avoid stress, it shouldn't be too bad. I don't like that my ovulation mucus is gone; I loved knowing myself that way, but most women probably don't care. Also, I think my sex-drive may have decreased a bit although I still seek the deed.

( /-) I did get extremely nauseous when I started taking it in the morning, but switched to nighttime and largely eliminated that problem."
