Birth : Birth control pills will not have an affect or be a solution to bed wetting. Be aware that when you start taking birth control pills, that you will experience some side effects such as fatigue, nausea, bloating, pelvic cramping, breakthrough bleeding/spotting and some woman experience moodiness.

Unlikely: My sympathies, quite frustrating. Wonder if u have seen a urologist with expertise in enuresis, had a urodynamic cystometrogram to evaluate bladder capacity, or early am urinary specific gravity measurement. Have u tried medication combinations e.g. Max. Dosagelong acting bladder antiholinergic like oxybutinin er or Detrol (tolterodine) la (2 increase capacity + desmopressin to lower nighttime urine production.
