mini pill sucks

What do you use for birth control?  I was taking the mini pill, but I am getting dizzy and headaches all day long so I decided I can't take it anymore and stopped taking it.  What do you take for birth control and how invasive is it?

might not be the mini pill.  Those symptoms are usually problems with dehydration.  Before you give up on the mini pill take two days and drown yourself in liquids.  Drink at least one Gatorade a day.  It has a lot of sodium to help you stay hydrated.  Can't hurt to try and it is great for your supply.

No, I agree it is the same symptoms as dehydration.  I def. noticed the symptoms started with the pill (which side effects are listed on prescription - dizziness and headaches).  I upped my water intake, etc.  Nothing helped it.  First day I am off of it and I feel an immediate change w/out changing my water intake.  Thx!

We're using condoms until my cycle returns and then we will switch to FAM.  I don't ever want to take hormonal BC ever again.  I did try the mini-pill and it affected my supply (which isn't common but guess I'm one of the lucky ones) so I gave it up.  Now I've decided that I'm just done with hormonal BC.
