I am on Junel Fe. I believe it's the generic for Loestrin Fe.
I just finished my second cycle. And well, I was wondering what you all think. Yes, I'm giving it one more cycle, but when is it time to call it quits on this one, and try yet another one.....
First cycle. nothing big. Some BTB around late week 2, through week 3.
Second cycle. Breast tenderness week 1. BTB all week 2 and 3. Week 4, no period. Strange.
I'm on the first week of my third cycle. No breast soreness, yay. no BTB, yay. If this one is a repeat of my second cycle, should I quit and move onto somethign else?
At this point, I may go back to Yasmin. lol. I am noticing that I need more estrogen. Darn it, cuz that's what makes me psycho. lol. But so far, with every step down, I've been having BTB and some major breast soreness. How strange is that? Maybe one day, I'll find a happy medium.
So, let me know what you think....when is enough, enough?
It was

I would say that if you still have BTB this cycle, especially if it duplicates the last two cycles, that enough is enough.
SCary, but true. I am keeping a spreadsheet of what is going on. Not on a daily basis, but with each pill.
at 35mcg of estrogen, I'm a raving lunatic. If it gives me breast tenderness, depends on the stuff in it, cuz one did, big time, the other didn't. weird.
At 25mcg of estrogen, MAJOR breast soreness (beyond tenderness, lol). At 20, breast tenderness, but it seems to go away faster.
Weirdly, the only pills that didn't give me breast tenderness was the yasmin and ortho novum 7/7/7. and the latter is lethal. lol. so strange.
And too little estrogen is adding to the BTB. Talk about conflicting. lol. I'm looking at my stats with the pills, I'm all over the place. From here, I have to figure out where I should go. Cuz so far, the doc
