Talk Hard!

Sarah has written a great post about choosing the right oral contraceptive (on eHow.com). She talks about the history of the pills and some of the variations in prescription.

As she points out, it is important to discuss your priorities with your doctor.  It may take some experimentation to find the oral contraceptive that works best with your body. If you find you have mood swings, hot flashes, cramps, menstrual spotting between periods, lowered libido, dry eyes, or other symptoms that weren’t present before you went on the pill, discuss that with your doctor; a change may be in order.
