HATING my BC

BrianeMC

So I started taking the pill again and I HATE it with a passion already. DH swears that I am making it all up in my head because there is just no way that taking the pill for 2 weeks can effect me already. My boobs are overflowing out of my bra and I feel bitchier. The sex drive that was so high before, during, and even right after pregnancy is GONE. I could care less if we have sex I do plan to talk to my doctor after I see how AF goes this month, but I pretty much refuse to take it after this month at this moment in time.

Am I crazy or has anyone had a similar experience with the pill?

I haven't been able to even DTD yet, but I did get the pill. I haven't made myself take it yet even though I should to see how I react to it this time around. Last time I was on the pill it messed with me so much, like weird cycles, emotional, etc, that I just stopped taking it. I really don't want to get pregnant again at this time, and feel like I need to take the pill as an extra precaution. Reading your post makes me nervous to go back on it though...

Did you get a different prescription or is it the same one you had pre pregnancy? I got the progesterone only this time around so maybe it will be different? I don't know if in your case if trying a different prescription might make a difference?

Definitely listen to your body! My best friends started the mini pill and it gave her severe depression. She went off of it and she was completely different! In her case it was best to stick to condoms, she was just too nervous to use hormonal bc after that.

Thanks for the feedback ladies! I hadn't been on BC pre conception for 3-4 years. I honestly can't even remember what I was taking at that point in time. Yasmin, I think. I don't remember it having this kind of effect on me other than weight gain. My doctor perscribed me Junel this time and obviously I am not liking it. I want to try for baby #2 when G turns one so the doc didn't want to give me the IUD just to turn around and take it back out. It is looking like condoms are going to be our best option at the moment. Didn't really want to go that route bc after so long with out them its just not the same, but that may be the only option I am comfortable with after consulting with my doc.

 P.S. I apologize about my siggy pic being huge! I swear I have tried changing it like 5 times!

It makes me freaking crazy.  I cry on a daily basis when I am on the pill.  The only one that worked for me is Yaz and I can't take it while I LO is eating breastmilk.

I'm in a similar situation to you. It's been probably 3 years since I've been on the pill and my Dr did not recommended an IUD for me. What I remember of being on the pill was not positive so I haven't even filled my RX. Someone needs to hurry up with that whole "male birth control pill" idea!
