trying to decide
| Wed, 03-15-2006 - 8:54am |
My dr put me on Ovcon 35 back in October, had spotting issues with it the whole 5 months I was on it . He took me off the last month . Now here is the dilemma. I was thinking of trying a different pill to manage my perimenopause symptoms and for birth control, but since my husband will be leaving in 2 weeks for a job that last for 9 weeks straight I was thinking of waiting. I would really like to see if my old body will kick into gear and decide how it wants to handle this impending menopause thing without the help of birth control pills. If I wait till dh comes back that will give my body 3 entire months without added hormones .I have a dr appt next week , Think I should wait and see what the dr thinks after this go round of hormone levels? I am just not eager to start a new pill and another go round of spotting 2-3 weeks straight.

Hi robinleigh58, welcome back!
DH being away would give you a good opportunity to see how you would do being hormone free. If you want to then I think you should go for it and see how it goes. But, if you do you should keep some condoms and spermicide or the sponge on hand just incase DH gets a day off and comes back for a visit.
Thanks for posting. What ever you decide I hope it works the way you want it to.
Good luck,
Jill
