Hi everyone,
I was wondering something. How does the doctor determine what pill to presibcribe to their patiences? I know they do a health check and a family history but with so many different pills out there and some are very simlar to each other how do they pick? Back when i was 17 (i'm now 30)i went on the pill(Ortho-Novum 777) i always had regular periods and no health problems before the pill. The only thing was that my period would arrive every 21 days then the usual 28. I have read that ortho-novum 777 is usually given to older women than younger. I never had a problem with it for the years that i was on it. Unforutaley my doctor took me off of it and put me on Depo-provera. Bad problems with that and switched to pargard IUD now. I am thinking of going back on the pill cause i have started having a small acne problem on my chin. It's always breaking out and no matter what otc acne treatments i use i still breakout. If anyone has any feedback it would be great. Thanks :wave:
