I went to my OB yesterday and her answer was to have me continue taking my pill for 3 months at a time or 90 days just like the Seasonale pill and she gave me a stronger pain pill. I don't like to be radically against modern medicine or anything, but it seems to me something must be going on with my body for it to change like it did. I have heard the belief that women didn't used to have so many cycles due to pregnancy and breast feeding so continuous BC is healthier, but then another Doctor pointed out that there's a difference between your body naturally stopping your cycle and stopping it chemically and that we don't know the risks of continuous BC yet..just like we didn't know the long-term effects of Hormone Replacement therapy and just found out it's dangerous. I'm not sure if I should seek a second opinion or what? Any advice and/or thoughts would be appreciated.

I do not follow everything in the books but I do the best I can, and I learned alot from them. This last month I quit taking the pill myself because i felt deep down something just wasn't right with it for me anymore and that i needed to get off of it and quickly.
I hope you find relief soon, whatever avenue of therapy you choose.

Hugs and prayers,
