to do?

hi all,

I took triphasil for 3 years, the past 2 months I have been taking another pill and my period came one day earlier than usual (for 3 years with triphasil it was always the same day!), anyway, teh first month with that new pill, everything fine but that last month, I felt more on the edge, moody, emotional, libido down...

I still have some triphasil left and i was wondering whether i should just go back to that. I have to take the first one tonight. I have an appointment with my gynecologist in April...

what do you think? can i stop the new one I was trying and get back to teh other one?

or should i contunue that new one and wait until my gynecologist appointment?



thanks

Hi and welcome!

It's not unusual for AF to change her schedule a bit when you switch pills. It can take a few cycles (3 or 4) on the new hormones for your body to adjust. I don't know why you switched from Triphasil but if I were you I'd give your new pill at least one or two more cycles to see of the mood and libido issues disappear before changing back or trying something else. Let us know how you are doing, ok?

Good luck

      Jill

Yeah, it's what I thought, but recently i have been crying and being so emotional...

I am also planning my wedding, so a lot of going on....

and my fiance has noticed the change and likes the other pill better. Triphasil worked fine with me, just a little bit too dry... that was the only problem. Now i am even dryer with this new pill (which was supposed to be better for that specific problem)... but you are right, i sould wait and see. MAybe by the time I get to talk to my gyneco, I will know about that new pill and its effects on my body.

Thanks for listening...

ps: Jill, what u r doing is awesome!
