my confession: BCP withdrawal

Lyssapee · December 2008

I've been off BCP for just over a week of being on it for just short of 10 years, with only one short break 4 years ago...

Last night I was driving with DH and got REALLY sad and cried for about 3 hours, for pretty much nore reason at all.

DH asked me if the doctor warned me about severe mood swings...

So a yelled at him... "I'm not having mood swings!!! I'm just really sad." Embarrassed

This morning on the ride into work I laughed about it, he still thinks I'm nuts.

Sounds like me, but mine didn't get that bad until CD 45 after stopping BCP.

OH geeze... you mean this might not be the worst of it... DH better move out now!

Haha!

I was on BCP the entire time we were dating and stopped immediately after we got married. It's funny because my DH really did see another side of me after the wedding - the roller-coaster-of-emotion side.

Add in now being PG... yeah thank goodness he's a patient man.

Some days he just rubs my head and asks me how crazy I'm feeling today. ;-)

I was never a cryer while on BCP (I was just an angry b!tch) but ever since I got off I cry at the dumbest things. It's embarassing! I totally feel your pain!

My hormones went nuts during the 70+ day cycle I had after my final month of BCP. Then I felt saner than I had in a long time. Hang in there.

lmao, so true!?

Lyssapee · December 2008

OH the best part, was... This morning he said "maybe you should go back on them, if being off them makes you feel bad..." to which I said "honey, that's a great idea, but that will prettty much make it impossible for me to get KTFU..." he was pretty quite until a dropped him off.

Just wait until you get pg.... the mood swings are crazy!

I had the opposite problem! I tried to go on BCP (yaz) right after our wedding and I went psycho! I would be balling one second and then freakishly happy the next... DH was scared of me lol. Also, unrelated, but I know of at least 5 people that got pg while on yaz.

I was a nightmare during my first cycle off because it was 80 days and anov and I thought I was going to lose my mind and that something was terribly wrong with my body. This cycle has been better

Maybe DH had the right idea, I should go back on BCP, I was on orthotri for years and switched to Yaz back in august...

I was on and off with the BCP for ten years but did take breaks in between, sometimes for a year. I went off them in October and luckily haven't had any problems. However, it is funny how you forget what it feels like to have things like PMS and mood swings!

I was perfectly fine on BC until I started using Seasonique. Talk about mood swings! I mostly got really angry. It was so bad that I had to stop with only two weeks left of my last pack (I know that's BAD!). Yeah, no more BC for me!

lol! I have done the same thing. Crazy mood swings!
