sick_of_cysts replied to sick_of_cysts's topic in General acne discussion
hi thanks for your reply. i am actually in the uk tho not the usa. and i only need one form of birth control although they say u have to use condoms too etc......the only options i am lead to believe are combined pill (the one they wont put me on coz of my slight hign blood pressure..but thats coz i hate it gettin done i even took t monitor home for 2 weeks and the results were okish) injection (stops periods altogether.cant do that) protegeon only pill (stops periods altogether,,,can't do that. -
