I have read a lot about the breakthrough bleeding, so that's not the issue. I'm prepared for that... but I'm COLD all the time since I started this BCP. I mean, I am usually the one that's cold in any room, it seems, but since a couple of days after I started these BCP, I have been shivering off and on... for example, in my office, I have a digital thermostat. Right now it reads 79 degrees. I am wearing a warm tutrle-neck sweater , and I'm almost comfortable. I can get in bed at night and have a sheet and 2 blankets on me and my chin shivers like I'm out in the snow on Christmas morning!
I forgot to take my pill on Sunday (after all these years you would think it would be hard to forget, I know, but laundry and kids got me all distracted!) and on Monday, I went to take the one from Sunday and Monday, but dropped them in the dirty dishwater in the sink! Ugh! Story of my life... (not worried about effectivness of the Pill, I'd love to be pg now, but he disagrees) - the point being that on Monday, I felt like I was comfortable, temp-wise, all day. I took my pill yesterday morning as scheduled, and I'm shivering again. Is this a hormone thing? Or a bigger problem - circulation or something?
I also take Lexapro, an anti-depressant, and Tylenol Severe Allergy. I have taken both of these before, with no side-effects.
Any input would be helpful. I don't have insurance, so going in to make sure all is well is pretty much out of the question.
have a great day!

take care,

I went from burning up all the time, to freezing. Now I am at a more even keel and it is nice. Don't fret over it too much unless your fingers or toes turn blue, then see a doctor stat. Personally I would rather be cold than hot, at least you can always add clothes. Good luck!
Thanks so much! have a great day!
