Birth Control – More balanced moods, less acne?

I’ve recently been having mood swings and my acne amount has gone up. My mum seems to think this is due to a hormonal imbalance.
Also, I have absolutely terrible cramps and nausea during my period. During such days I simply can’t stand up long enough to get anything done.
So my question is, has anyone experienced those problems and had them resolved upon taking birth control?It is true that some birth controls can help with this, but everyones body will handle it differently. While sometimes it helps sometimes it can make the mood swings worse, also when you stop taking it you may bleed for two weeks or not have a period for a month or two. There are many kinds of birth control you should ask you obgyn about the many different kinds and what might be best for you. Chances are they will give you a month or two of a sample to see how it works for you.
I have been on a birth control before that helped regulate my period. It was also much lighter. It was ortho tri cyclen low (not real sure on the spelling) However I am prone to depression and it seemed to make it worse. The depo shot made me so very irritable and also made me spot randomly sometimes.
But remember everyone’s body will handle them differently and if your not prone to depressive thoughts that might not happen to you. Your obgyn could tell you best.Absolutely! I have noticed in the past when not on birth control, that mood swings were the norm. As for pain, I too could barely stand at times. I have never suffered from nausea, but know people who actually threw up due to their period. I never really suffered from overwhelming acne so I can’t advise about that. It may take a bit of juggling to find the right one for you, but I seriously recommend birth control for dramatically lessening the pain and duration of your period. Talk to your doctor, and they will be able to help you out.I had terrible mood swings and horrible acne when I went through puberty. During some periods I had crippling cramps in which I couldn’t move, the pain was so bad. I went on the pill and it didn’t help much except to give me a regular period. It may have helped with the cramps a little, but as it was a long time ago, I cannot tell you for sure).
One important factor is diet. If you have a diet high in processed foods and low in fresh fruit and veggies, try and change this a bit. Many women notice a lessening in cramps and other symptoms of PMT when having had a healthier diet on the lead up to the end of their cycle.
