Hi...i'm not sure how your experience with birth control was, but i was on it for 2 1/2 months, and i had my period from the moment i started taking the pill, until the day or two after i stopped taking it...and for that, i will NEVER use birth control again. I was always told that after having a child, your period gets considerably better. although my 1st period after my daughter was horrendous!!! while i always had a heavy flow, that lasted 7-10 days, and really bad cramps to go along with it...it was NEVER as bad as the 1st one after my daughter! i wore a pad, AND an adult diaper to bed, and bled through BOTH! the 2nd month i still had to wear the adult diaper, but didn't bleed through. i'd say by the time she was about 4, MAYBE 5 months old, my period went down to only being heavy the 2nd and 3rd day, and barely anything 4th-5th/6th day. i'd say now i'm down to a "normal" period, including flow and amount of time it lasts (though cramps are still pretty bad). if your not sure about going on the pill, i'd say wait a couple of months, and if it's not considerably better, then make the decision. it does get better! good luck, sorry i couldn't give you any info on the different birth controls you were asking about.
