Okay so this blog is female specific...hopefully you all can give me some tips.
So, I started taking a birth control pill almost 2 months ago...don't want anymore babies anytime soon! My doctor prescribed me the YAZ pill because I have a history of acne, long/heavy periods, and PMS. The first week on the pill literally made me feel crazy, I was irritable, emotionally unstable and very anxious...but after about 6 days I seemed to level out a bit....unfortunately I noticed that I had terrible PMS just before and during the first couple days of my period last month and I am going through that again this month. Not only that, my cycle was 12 days last month, my acne is worse, and im having troubles losing weight. What a nightmare!
I guess my question is do any of u take something that is working better? Im still considering just getting the IUD...anyone have pro/con suggestion regarding that?
I just want to feel normal, or close to normal.

Hey there,
ReplyDeleteI have been using the Depo shot for years. The only time I wasnt on it was both times I got pregnant. I very seldom get my period. The only down side is if you use it for a very long period of time it is known for weakening your bone density. Hope this helps.

My favorite has been the Mirena IUD. I had it in between kids #2 and 3. Email me if you want to know more about it. I really liked it though. I keep meaning to make an appointment to get that one again. I asked at my 6 week check-up, but Dr. Michaelson's office doesn't do them, so he referred me to someone else.
ReplyDeleteI emailed you about my expirience with the IUD's. Hope it helps! :)
