Well ladies...

I think I have decided that the pill is just not for me. I am mid way through my second pack. I hate it. The first month I was sooooo worried, about everything, it didn't matter what it was, I was a nervous wreck. This month, I feel like I am having hot flashes, foggy memory, NO ENERGY, and sex - ha - yeah right. I opted to go on it, number one to help with an irregular period, and number two, so we didn't have to mess with condoms. I was on depo a few years ago and swore I would never do anything hormonal to my body again. (I guess I should have listened)

My husband doesn't know that I am going to go off of it. It was really my idea and decision to start it (although I did ask his opinion)so I don't think he will mind. I feel like I have been a different person. I have been so short tempered, it is so stupid the things that have been setting me off. My five year old is driving me crazy, and my husband is driving me insane. I hate this. I realized last night (while I was trying to fall asleep) that I hadn't said I love you to my husband in over a week. I feel so bad.

I am not going to take my pill tomorrow. I am hoping that stopping mid pack doesn't come back to kick me.

Thanks for letting me vent!

Hey! I had to reply to your post because I'm feeling the same way and I've only been on them two days! I was on BC years ago and never had a problem with them...NOW I'm more worried than ever about going on them...almost to the point of obsessing about it. Sometimes I think the symptoms I "think" I feel are asymptomatic...all in my head because of all of the negative stuff I've been reading. Although the pill will help with my period and being more sexual with my boyfriend, I still think if I feel this paranoid about it, it's not worth it. Perhaps you will feel the same?

By the way, I've started and stopped in the middle of the pack, and depending on how long you've been on them, I did have breakthrough bleeding. For myself, it's only been two days so I'm not worried.

Best wishes!
