My physician wants to give me Alesse (combo birth control). I am worried about the side effects, which are acne, excess hair, dark patches above lip and on forehead, WHICH I ALREADY HAVE!!! Including the occasional several pain from my right ovary.

I don't trust these doctors. They couldn't even find a reason for my chronic bronchitis so I'm seeing a specialist.

Please help me! Should I try the birth control? Is there another option?

I've actually read that frequent sex, masturbation and orgasms can prevent or lessen the severity of it. I'm totally serious. Google it or something you'll find the info. It has something to do with toughening up the vaginal walls.
