Switching pills?
| Thu, 05-06-2004 - 11:44am |
I recently went to my new dr here at college for my yearly (thanks for the advice everyone) and it went a lot better than my first one. While talking to her, she asked if I wanted to be switched to Nordette because I still have some mild (and rarely bad) cramps. I figured that cramps were just a normal part of it because I had them before the pill. Am I wrong? Would this merit a pill change if I have no other complaints? I was pretty confused and she told me it was up to me without any more explanation. I took my regular prescription (Ortho Tri Cyclen lo) and she told me I could switch at anytime. Any advice? Thanks a lot :) You gals are awsome here!

So to make a long story short - I wouldn't switch pills if I were you. In my experience it's been a lot of trouble for not much benefit. If you are generally satisfied with the pill you're on - stick with it! :-)

Yes, BCP helps endometriosis - I guess her theory was that if your cramps don't totally go away when you're on the pill, perhaps you have endo. If it was "just cramps", they'd totally go away. Again, those are my GYN's words - not mine. I don't necessarily believe it.
.... which is why I have a new GYN now! :-)
