I think my comment was more about using BCP for BC, as opposed to treating a medical condition or deficiency in hormones.Marhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03738353397065938415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751333977632413178.post-19131055415359202072009-07-15T23:02:56.352-04:002009-07-15T23:02:56.352-04:00Sorry I can't cheer you on here.

I think for me, thou...Chub, I see your point there. I think for me, though, if I end up having PCOS (which is progressive, so it gets worse, generally), I really think I'll want to do some kind of hormonal medication. <br /><br />I like the idea of not having to be on the pills because I agree, it's can really screw with a lot of things unnecessarily. But, if my hormones aren't at healthy levels on their own, I think the best option for me is to supplement and try to even things out a little.<br /><br />I, for one, have been on several BCPs, and really haven't had any issue with mood on any of them. But everyone is different, and that's certainly a risk that has to be weighed when making the decision.<br /><br />And really, save for this week, I haven't noticed any real differences coming off them. And some of that could be stress-related. <br /><br />My biggest issue is the UNBELIEVABLE cramping (I missed two days of working out because it hurt to move) and the scary flow. If it hadn't calmed down today, I considered going to the ER, to check for hemorrhaging.Insomniachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085682122930371443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751333977632413178.post-47997311052589189602009-07-15T21:06:49.372-04:002009-07-15T21:06:49.372-04:00my friend has been having RIDICULOUS stuff going o...my friend has been having RIDICULOUS stuff going on with her pills. she basically had to issue a her boyfriend a blanket warning that nothing she said or did was her, and it was actually the being that had "possessed" her during this medication switch.<br /><br />something about birth control really freaks me out. mammals have been menstruating and reproducing for eons ... while i love some modern conveniences and adaptations and scientific revolutions, this is one of those parts of the "perfect storm of life" that i feel really weird messing with.Marhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03738353397065938415noreply@blogger.com
