I was on the pill for a while, and I didn't find it to be so bad. What IS bad is the first 1-3 months, when your hormones probably will go CRAZY. After that, they even out.

I was on birth control once for about 3 months and went right off, said I'd never do it again. But I did, and I requested the lowest hormone one possible, and got Low Overall, which is spelled badly, but that's what it sounded like. Anyway, I had some mood swings the first 2 months, and my breasts were more tender, etc., but that all went away after that--completely. I had trouble remembering to take it, but it wasn't that bad.

I want to try the ring, which I have many friends raving about. That's pretty low hormones, and you just put it in your vagina once a month, I believe.
