My doctor has recommended I give my ovaries a 3 month vacation from ovulating and has prescribed birth control pills for me. I tried birth control pills a few times about 25-30 years ago and found them really hard to tolerate. They made me really, really depressed, and other times very manic and other times very emotional. I am usually a very steady person. I was crazy! It was terrible. I don't want to feel that depressed or out of control again. I told my doctor my worries and she said that modern BCPs are much lower dose than when I took them back then, and so I may not react the same way. So I'm going to try them, but I'm kind of scared.

Has anyone here used modern BCPs and felt changes in mood? Or are the current pills too weak to cause any problems?
