The Pill and Mood Swings
| Thu, 06-28-2007 - 8:56am |
I've been on OrthoTricyclin Lo for a few years now (maybe 4?). I've been fine on them until recently. I've been spotting 3-4 days before I start my period (the spotting usually starts prior to when I should be on my period). Also, I've been having horrible mood swings 2 days before my period that continue till about a week after my period. That's 2 weeks of my life every month that's a complete roller coaster. My periods are also no longer starting on time -- early and late. My DR has suggested changing to OrthoCyclin and removing that varying levels of hormones. Should I switch or should I stop and give my body a break? Before being on "Lo" I had been on a few other pills for 5-6 years, so probably been on BC for about 10 years now. I'm 31 years old.
