Ive been on the pill for about 3 years and Ive finally decided to get off of it because Im sick of being moody, emotional, and having NO sex drive. Ive only been off of it for a week but Im wondering how long it will be before I am normal again?? When will the irritability and emotional craziness go away and when will my sex drive come back??? Any info or shared experiences with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

p.s. And for the past year I have been on Loestrin, the pill with the lowest dosage of hormones, and it didnt make any difference... that is why I decided to get off of it and my BF of 6 years and I are going to just use condoms.

I want to be an actress. There is no way I can, though. I told my mom, and she said I was probably going through a phase. I figured I have to have a purpose in life, but what could it be? I mean, god wouldn't have put me here just so I I could be sad and hate to wake up to another boring day. What do I do?

I've been getting less than 4 hours of sleep the last 5 days since I'm in the middle of relocating into another apartment in L.A., and you can imagine the kind of stress that is, and somehow I find it hard to go without food or "Carbs" for more than 3 hours and I get dizzy and shaky a lot faster. Can lack of sleep effect blood glucose levels?

i've met some people that smoke and say they cant stop. i don't know if this is comparable at all, cause i dont smoke, but i stopped drinking Coke and Sodas about 1 year ago, after years of drinking them, and i didn't just by saying. "ok no more". It was simple, so what's the difference in giving up smoking.. why can't they do it..

I haven't had my period for over three months. I know I'm not pregnant because I'm not having sex. But I have been running a lot: 20 to 30 miles a week, sometimes more. What's going on?

Based on my BBT, I ovulated cycle day 12. OPK were all negative except CD11, which was slightly positive but faded quickly the 2nd reading of the day.
I test twice daily.
I also check cm and position, all leading to being fertile.
Why does the opk not pick up when I will ovulatie,
or should I ASSUME the slight positive on cd11 was actually positive.
Brand name of opk is answer.
Also,
last month my o was on cd12 but the opk read positive on cd16.
Maybe I should switch brands of opk tests.
Any suggestions??
