I'm not bipolar, but I've tried a lot of BC pills - some that actually made me depressed - but the one that finally worked the best for me is Ovcon. Good luck.

> This message is for any bipolar females out there that may have experience with birth control pills. I am a 35 year old mother of two with bipolar II. Ever since the birth of my last child 3 years ago, I have not been able to get back on birth control pills without having major mood problems. I have tried several different types including: Yasmin, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Ortho Novum 7/7/7 . Does anybody have experience with this or know of a pill that would be less likely to worsen depression/mood instability. I prefer to be on a pill because my natural monthly hormonal fluctuations are unbearable. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
