BCP reviews pet peeve!

I've been online reading reviews for the BCP my dr gave me to help with endo & it is so annoying! About 99% of the reviews are from women who have been on the pill less than a month. It takes at least 3 months for your body to adjust to the hormones! My favorite reviews are the ones that start off with "I've been on this pill for 2 days and feel horrible!" Good grief woman, I'd like to see your reaction to stims!! lol

Stick out tongue

Re: BCP reviews pet peeve!

  • I think the problem is people only go online and review meds when they have a bad reaction to them.  Who would take the time to say "oh this was nothing?"  Back in college I liked Loestrin.  Now I'm on Cryselle which I was on before TTC but it sucks this time around.  Not sure why exactly.

    Exactly! I finally gave up and decided to just see what my reaction to them is. Before starting TTC I was on Lo Loestrin and had an awful experience with them, but some people love them. One review I read was really good...the lady said that everyone is different and will have different reactions so you just have to try it for yourself.

  • LOL!  BCP's never bothered me.  But then again I must be immune to hormones (that includes not responding to stims, haha), I never even get PMS symptoms. 

    I really think all of us going through this process are a lot stronger than we ever thought we could be.  With IVF#1 I didn't know how I would be able to give my self shots everyday and was banking on my DH doing it for me.  Now, the shots, the bloat, the retrieval, the PIO, bedrest, heck I never thought I'd be going through this but I know I'm much stronger than I gave myself credit for.  I wish the only thing I had to complain about was BCP's!  Oh to be naive again!

    Me:40 AMA, DH:36 0% morph, TTC#1;
    BFP#1 4/2011, MMC 6/2011 11wks Trisomy 13;
    BFP#2 11/2011, CP
    FSH: 17.9, AMH: 2.2
    IVF#1 w/ICSI: ER 4/3: 5R,4M,4F
    ET 4/6 All 4 (1-8A+, 2-8A-, 1-3A) BFP#3
    Two weeks of beta hell = Blighted Ovum
    IVF#2 Aug/Sept: ER 8/27: 4R,3M,3F
    ET 8/30 (1-8A+, 1-6A+)
    Beta#1 9/10: 350; Beta#2 9/12: 796; Beta#3 9/20: 9155

    Life would be much easier! If ignorance is bliss, then I'd gladly be ignorant (if only I could be fertile & ignorant). lol
