BlueRoseTorn I love the pill to death, I just have a problem with the side-effects: I would only very rarely get cramps, but now I get killer cramps nearly every period. My boobs also get unbearably sore during the fourth week. And, my appetite's not the same since I've been on it (as in, I rarely get hungry. Which can be good, as I did have the tendancy to overeat, but now, because I don't have my tummy grumbling as a reminder, I forget to eat, sometimes. And then I get sick sweatdrop ). Really? Cuz if you're having really bad side effects maybe you should ask your doctor to put you on a different one. I get fewer cramps and an unchanged appetite from what it was before. Overall I heart the pill.
Of course, I would heart it even more if I were getting any sex. stressed
Phoenix: Friendly fire isn't. wink
Tea: Poo. I'm well beyond the resistance stage at this point. Any recommendations for getting rid of the bloody thing?

phoenix shadowwolf missmagpie Tea Didikai This year- nothing to chance. I am putting myself on the pill and going out of town for a romantic weekend. Ooh I like the pill! It makes much non-hassle about so many things! more predictable periods, forwarning to loved ones about mood swings, more dependable to "plan" for other things... 3nodding yes, mucho love the scientists that created that thing. If I ever went on the pill I'd need someone reliable to call me every day and remind me to take it. sweatdrop Second boyfriend - I was going to surprise him by going on the pill. He broke up with me before I had a chance (I was at college). Heh.

This is the third type of pill the gyno's put me on (the first was orthotricyclin, I forget what the second one was because I was only on it for a month, and now I'm on Estrostep), and they've all given me the exact same side-effects. The b***h of it is that I need to be on the pill to regulate my period--otherwise it's completely unpredictable. Twenty days? Fourty days? Seventy days? (Yes, it was literally that bad.) And with me working and in school now, I don't want to be unsure of when I'll get it, and how heavy the flow will be. I'd rather not relive the horrors of high school and middle school. gonk
Plus, there's no way I'm only relying on condoms. I'll gladly take the icky side-effects if it means I remain baby free.

There's a new version... newring, I think? It's not a pill but it uses a much lwoer dose of hormones in order to achieve it's goal. A friend of mine who'se an ateypical diabetic and has issues with progesterone and estrogen was using it and said it lessened her side effects significantly.

It was bad. There were other complications too. But it's also possible that switching the pill so much is what makes it so bad. There are times when switching a brand makes the whole world topsy turvy. Damn hormones...
