I’m 18 and what to get on BC, but unsure.

Hi, I recently turned 18. I went to visit the OGBYN for the first time today. I discussed the process of getting Birth Control. I have never been active, so it’s not a worry about protection as of right now.

I am starting college in the fall, so I would like to be on it before I go to college, to keep my self safe. I am pretty sure I have PCOS. I have irregular periods and such. I wanted to start BC to help with that and to get it before

However, I have seen many different side effects to BC. I know that some cause weight gain, bone density loss, cystic acne, extremely long periods, No periods etc.

I am on the heavier side and I don’t want any weight gain or lose my bone density. What methods are recommended for my age group or what are the experiences you had at 18, when starting BC?

I just need more experiences, the pros and the cons. Before I choose. My main concern is weight gain and long periods of bleeding. I rather start BC now, rather than a month before college.

All the help would be appreciated! Thank you so much.
