I don t want to try birth control again because of these problems. should I try another birth control or do you think it would be unhealthy because my body doesn t react well with it?  <response>: Hi How are you doing ? Birth control is used as a cafeteria method. Each method is good for some not for others. Without any personal age medical history pregnancy histories, its not possible to decide. There are n number of methods. But let me put forwards a list of methods the situations where they are suitable.1.
