HI Everybody - Just thought I would update you guys....I am on the pill for having irregular periods. The pill helps regulate me. Anyway, I started taking a new med called Equetro for Bipolar Disorder. It said in the packet of info that it can affect the effectiveness of the birth control pill. I missed my period this month and told my pdoc. She said in group today that the medicine could be what my problem is. This medicine works really well for me, I'd hate to go off of it because of female problems. My pdoc wants me to continue to take Equetro and see what happens. IT's too early to tell. Thanks for the pep talk yesterday about my weight. I feel a little better today about it. I haven't been eating very healthy today. Every Tuesday night my family goes over to my Gram's for dinner and it's not exactly a healthy meal. Everyone in my family is quite large except for my Gram (lucky her) and won't eat anything healthy. I hurt my elbow yesterday working out. I'm not sure what I did, but it hurts pretty bad. Thanks for listening - Jena in Zephyrhills, FL.
