   Oh don’t scare me now! I started using the pill today. I’ve already been told the brand I’m taking makes people insane – I’m hoping I won’t be one of those affected!

   But larger breasts do sound like a fun side-effect…

   hahahahaha. Amen, sister!

   You know how some women sic up with their friends after a long friendship? I wonder if we are doing that?

   For dinner last night I had half a pint of coffee ice cream and an ambien. Remember I can’t eat ice cream because I’m diabetic, but it was so good.

   Here’s hoping we both make it until Sunday with our friends and loved ones still around.

   Oooh, lady. I have had that experience more times than I can count! If it doesn’t go away in the next two weeks, call your doctor and switch pills. Seriously, I’ve been through about seven different varieties, and I finally found one that has been free of all those nasty side effects. It could just be your body adjusting, but if you don’t feel normal soon, don’t settle for something that’s not so hot. Pills are like boys… eventually there will be one that makes it all worthwhile.

   I echo Abbersnail’s comments – change up the type of pill if it’s not working for you!

   Though, you could also use this little dose of crazy as an excuse to “hit cardboard” when eating ice cream out of the tub.

   That happens to me with tri-cyclens. There’s actually only one pill I can take (that I know of) which doesn’t turn me into either a crazy or nauseous person.

   Hormonal birth control is horrid. It totally erodes sex drive and causes breast cancer. Barrier methods aren’t wonderful obviously, but they are better than the pill.

   Get off it asap would be my advice.

   I’ve done the pill thing, did it for years, actually. Twice. I’ve learned it makes me fatter, I feel like shit, and I have NO sex drive. Whatsoever. Not only did my desires go away (far way, like in Guam), I forgot what horniness even was. Went off the pill and ta-da! It was back! Thank goodness!

   Hopefully, you’ll have a better experience.

   I’m a big fan of the patch. I was on the pill for years & while it didn’t make me a homicidal maniac – I was horrible at remembering to take it – hence the lovely 8 year old little girl running around my house. The depo shot turned me into a lunatic though so I know how you feel. Hang tight…these symptoms may subside in a few days. If not, get off of them asap. It’s just not worth it.

    Are you sure you’re not related to Mrs. Lefty?

    ahhh! ive been there. it’s the most frustrating thing, isn’t it? hope you are feeling more like yourself soon!

    Ohhh I feel your pain, woman. I just started on a new pill which is the first that has worked really well for me in awhile. But whenever my period comes I get cranky and tired and sex is the last thing on my mind. Which is not so great for my poor boyfriend.
    I’ve been told 3 months is the time frame to give your new pill, and then make a decision if you want to try something else.
    I hope it gets better instead of worse! :(

    See? I can laugh at this because this was what I was like with PMS for almost 30 years. (Back when they didn’t know what PMS was…) When I was diagnosed, finally, the doctor said I wasn’t the woman who would kill her husband and not know she did it, but I was the one who would try and kill him and KNOW. From that point on, my husband was sweet enough not to ask “are we PMS-ing?”… but rather, “honey, is it time to hide the knives?”

    I understand. Honestly I do. {{{hugs}}}

    Everyone can sense I am off my fucking rocker.

    LOL

    God it sucks to be female, doesn’t it???

    Oh heck, is it any of the “tri” pills? Because those suckers work a number on me, too. I go from slightly moody to all-out volatile. Yelling at the dog, slamming the door, breaking out… ugh. No good. And don’t miss a pill, oh gosh no, then you’re pretty much just opening the door to hell right then and there.
    I hope you’re regulated soon… I know that feeling.

    you guys are fucking killing me with these comments. ha ha ha!

    Ys- my breasts are already in double digit so getting larger could cause serious harm to my back, let alone my wardrobe!

    hotpinksox- i’ve totally sync-ed up with other blogger girls so this DOES happen. i hope you ate some ice cream for me. man, i really miss ice cream.

    abbersnail- pills are like boys- that’s brilliant! ha!

    nilsa- since i gave up the sugar, there aren’t really any positives to this kind of crazy. poor me. :(

    sandra- i’m on the patch so it’s going directly into my blood stream. watch out world!

    amelia- unfortunately barrier methods aren’t working in this situation so i’m kind of stuck. . .but i might have to switch to a different kind, for sure. it’s not ideal.

    mackies- i feel fatter every second. it’s awful.

    angela- sadly, i am ON the patch. boo hoo! i might have to try an oral pill.

    wayne- smart move. for you, not for your spouse.

    lefty- all women are related somehow. maybe you should bookmark this too?

    brookem- yes, very frustrating! argh!

    diane- three months? and i was ready to rip off the patch last night! ok, patience. and lots of alone time.

    sue- that’s a good way of putting it. no one likes to be asked if they are “on the rag” sure fire way to get knifed!

    tc- sometimes it really, really does suck. yes.

    justrun- it’s the patch. it’s going directly into my blood stream and i am getting crazier by the minute! regulation hurry up!

    I can’t add anything that hasn’t been said. Besides, a real comment would show that I’m only thinking about the bigger boobs.

    “I feel like I could run people over with my car without any remorse and little provocation.” This is not a sign of sanity, now is it?

    Now that all depends on where you are driving!! Here it is perfectly normal.

    nerdgirl- it’s ok to laugh. it’s pretty funny when i am not about to cry. heh.

    whit- boobs! bigger boobs!

    g-man- i’m glad i don’t live on the east coast then.

    Ah, running people over with no repercussions, a motor vehicle operator’s utopia.

    Oh, you said remorse.

    I always feel like a total creep when I recommend this kind of thing, but I started using the Nuvaring six months ago and it’s honestly solved all of my hormone related problems.

    I would get everything from scary to naseaus from the estrogen in pills, so this worked perfectly for me. It has much, much less estrogen than other options – which made me more comfortable and less frightening to interact with, and it has been awesome. And its as low maintence as the patch, which is a plus.

    In case you’re starting to look elsewhere!

    All this talk about estrogen and pills and bigger boobs has made me woozy, as if I stepped into the wrong room.

    I’ll go Coinstar my change jar… just in case! :)

    Oh, Christ.

    I have had pills that have made me completely insane…Like in need of an exorcism insane…

    I have been through numerous pills and cycles and whatever else before I got on my current setup…So far it seems to be working well.

    Get it changed if it doesn’t balance out — insanity just isn’t worth it…Most of the time.

    I wish I had a reason to be on birth control!

    well, I’ve never tried the pill, but I tried the Depo shot and let me tell you…DO NOT take that shit. It stays in your system for THREE months and makes you insane. Well, at least it made me insane. Turned me from “happygolucky” to “I hate my life and everything about it and please just go eff yourself” :) Just some additional advice!

    Since I didn’t see anything about a hormonally crazed female running people down at Pike’s Place Market on the news last night, I’m assuming you survived the day and aren’t in need of bail money… yet. ;) Hope that crazy estrogen give you a break today!

    Oh, man. I know first-hand how much havoc birth control can wreak on a woman’s body.

    LOL. I got off it last month, and let me just say, breast SHRINKAGE. Now I’m back on it (I’m on my third week too!) and I totally completely utterly understand what you’re going through. Let’s make an appointment to go to a shooting range. Seriously. Argh.

    Comment by Michelle — October 23, 2007 #

    P.S. I did not get back on it because of the breast shrinkage. Just thought I should make that clear. Alrighty then.

    Comment by Michelle — October 23, 2007 #

    i am now on half the mini-pill. yes, half! anything with estrogen was making me miserable: low libido, swollen, sore boobs, weight gain, blah! even the full mini-pill was hurting my breasts though not as bad. the best part about this pill is that it’s been 70+ days and counting since i’ve had a period, yay!
