its not worth all this pain~!

Answer 1

Yes, I can totally relate. I am 24 years old and have tried approx 3 different pills over the last say 6 years. Each one has made me moody, feel bloated, and a little sick tired and lethargic.

For the last 2.5 years I have worked on being healthy overall, including a balanced diet and exercise about 4 times a week, manage stress and as a result my period has become much more regular and managable.
I would also highly recommened EVENING PRIMROSE OIL. - it is a natural tablet that assists with PMS symptoms such as bloating, pain, & mood. My natraupath advises all females who encounter any problems with their periods.

All the best, and NO its not you, like many the pill just dosn't suit you - no big deal!

Answer 2

Been there, done that (unfortunately!). I was on the patch for about 6 months and I was a total b*tch the entire time. The hormones made me SO moody...it was terrible. After I stopped wearing them, I was back to normal. Everyone's body reacts differently to BC...you should try a different type and see if that helps.

Answer 3

been there. In a month taking bc, i got the worst migrane almost every week and passed out a couple of times. So i decided not to take it anymore. You could try other different bc beside the pills such as patch or Nuva ring, that might work for you. ask your doctor.

Answer 4

You may want to try a version that has less estrogen. That sometimes can help alleviate symptoms such as yours.

Answer 5

i been through that too so i stopped taking them also but i'm about to get back on them. you should try a different brand of birth control.
