Okay This Is Weird.. Posted: 08-19-06 10:41am
I've been on bc for a little over a month.
The past few days i've been having these
weird symptoms & I have no idea why.
I've had this feeling like i'm going to
throw up but I never do.. Doesn't last
long, I just had it the other night. My
stomach has this weird feeling like i'm
going to start my period soon, yet I just
got off my period last week
[monday-tuesday`ish?] when I pee.. After
i'm finished I still feel like I have to
go! I don't know what the deal is but
none of these symptoms really go with
eachother I know. I've never had a uti,
or a yeast infection or anything of the
sorts. What the heck does all this mean?
Could anyone help me out?

Oh & just for the record.. I've taken
all my pills on time & have never
skipped a pill. Thought maybe that would
help.

It may just be your body getting used to
the pill. Nausea especially is a very
common side effect of the pill.
I had a very bad experience recently on
the pill where I got a lot of
pseudopregnancy symptoms even though I was
not pregnant. If you get any of those,
just quit the pill immediately. I quit
over 2 months ago and am still detoxing
and getting back to normal. I just write
this because you mentioned feeling weird
in your post. If you get any of the
following symptoms, you should probably
stop the pill: huge, massive weight gain
quickly (i gained 20 lb. In just over a
month), bad water retention and bloating
and swelling (feet were so swollen it hurt
to walk, could no longer wear my wedding
rings), abdomen over uterus becoming hard
and bulgy, weird feeling that all the
cells of your body are pushing outward,
ravenous appetite, strange food cravings,
moodiness & huge anxiety, crying at
anything (in tears at least once daily
& then it would take hours to stop
crying). If you get these symptoms, I
speak from experience, no they will not
get better, they got worse, and maybe 6
months from now, i'll be normal again, I
hope...

Yeah, i've been so moody lately.. Like
around my boyfriend, & I don't mean to
be at all. I've been crying a lot lately
.. I mean a lot, sometimes for no reason
at all. The slightest things make me mad
or upset. I have gained weight..
Probably 10 pounds since I started on july
16th. I thought maybe starting the pill
would also help keep my acne at bay, but
it definitely hasn't.. So on thursday i'm
going to the derm. To get on accutane.
I'm just in a bind! I feel so blah.. But
i'm not going to call it quits with the
pill. I just can't.
