Crying At Nothing

Ever since beginning birth control my mood
has seem to be shot. I cry over the
smallest, stupidest stuff.. & when
i'm with my boyfriend I get mad over the
craziest things.. I'm not that kind of
girl to get all hissy over stupid stuff so
I know the birth controls causing my mood
to go down the drain! Last night at my
cousins wedding my bf made the statement
that he was probably just going to go to
bed whenever he got home [it was getting
late] since he had to work early this
morning. We normally go back to his house
& have sex and just hang out w/
eachother .. But we haven't had sex since
wednesday b/c he's been so busy w/ work
& I guess it just really upset me that
once again, we wouldn't be getting
intimate! Ha so I started crying &
making a fool of myself. Just little
things like that have been happening
lately.
Good thing we get to spend time w/
eachother tonite. I know I made a
complete fool of myself crying like a
hissy health forum last night!

Hey. Don't feel bad. You know it's the
hormones in the birth control. So when
you feel that way just relax. It sounds
easier than it is, but think of something
else. Or just bit your tongue and be
strong. ^_^ when sex become a regualr
routine in a couples life, and something
like "being too busy" get in the way of
that, yeah you're gonna feel like he
doesn't "want" you. Just remember, a
relationship isn't just based on sex, it's
about being there for each other and being
the best of friends. I'm sure you
probably know this, but just think of it
anytime you feel like he doens't want you.
If he or you or both of you get too busy
for something that you usually do (sex,
watching movies, just spending time
together, etc.) just sit down and talk to
him about it. Tell him how you feel. Lol
and try not to cry. It probably makes him
feel bad. Lol!!!! ^_^ hope everything
goes well.

Thanks so much for posting that! It
really makes me feel so much better! I
think the best thing for me to do when I
feel my mood start to "change" or when I
feel like putting my bf on a guilt trip is
just to relax & breathe.. Makes sense
huh? Thanks again love ! <3

Hi there! Have you ever thought about
another form of b/c such as an iud or
possibly changing your brand of b/c pills,
you might think of discussing this with
your dr as you might be getting too much
hormones of course I am not a Dr.But I
would think about bringing this
conversation up with your Dr.
Good luck!

good suggestions for other types, but, if
you do get something like an iud, keep in
mind that it is very very painful and very
expensive. Some people have said that
even having intercourse is very painful.
Also, if you haven't had any children
before you get it, it can even be worse!
I like the idea that maybe, if you ever
get sick and tired of feeling that way
(upset or very sensitive) that you could
look into getting on another form or pill
of birth control. Patch, shot, the ring,
or maybe just a different type of pill,
less hormones. Make sure to discuss it
with your doctor or clinic professonial
though. Let them know how you feel, don't
be scared to tell them anything. ^_^ hey,
i'm on the shot and i'm doing pretty good
so far. ^_^ just remember, everyone
reacts to everything differently,
especailly when it comes to your body.
^_^ yey! Happiness!

An iud is not very very painful
necessarily..Mine was not..I also have no
children..
There are techniques that can be used to
reduce pain during an iud insertion.

Well i'm on that new low-dose pill called
yaz. So it's not like i'm getting a crazy
amount of hormones.. That's why my doc
put me on something with a low-dose.

I was on the low dose hormone ortho tri
cyclen lo. I felt the same way you did.
I was crying for no reason and kept
blaming things on my boyfriend. I
couldn't control my emotions at all. So
I went to my obgyn and she said that
sometimes low dose bc's can do that to you
sometimes. So i'd switch to something
else. She put me on yasmin, and
everything has balanced out. No
outbursts no nothing.

Mood Swing Has to Do With Lack of Vitamin B6!!
Posted: 09-12-06 20:25pm

|
|

My doctor told me that mood swings during
bc are usually caused by a lack of vitamin
b6. She said that if you take daily
multivitamins, such as centrum (which is
what I take), then your mood swings wont
happen. Almost nobody gets 100% dv of b6
so they have to take a multivitamin. I
would go out and get some asap!:)
besides, multivitamins make you feel
better in many ways. They're great!

Well I have to go back to my gyno next
month for a colposcopy [they found
"abnormal cells" from my pap smear] - so
when I go then I think i'll talk to her
about maybe switching birth control pills?
What would you guys recommend?

these vitamins you speak of, do they make
you feel better all around? Would you
suggest them for a normal everyday use?

I'd ask to change. That's what I did. I
went in to see her for 5 mins to get a new
prescription waited two hours. Ihad to
go get anothe rpap smear too. They said
I had a low reading and that I might have
hpv. Turned out that i'm ok but she
still wants me to go in again. That's 3
pap smears in a year. I don't want to go
again because she said I was ok but the bf
wants to be sure... So for the sake of
him i'll spread my legs again lol

Bc And Anxiet/depression??
Posted: 09-24-06 20:17pm

Is it typical to have anxiety and
depression while on bc? I was on the
patch for a number of years and only had
emotional outbreaks once in awhile, now I
have been on avaine/allesse for 3 months
and the week of my period/placebo pills my
mood is outrageously crazy!!! I am hard
to deal with and mad about everything! My
question is, is this normal? And is it
possible to take an anti-depressant while
on bc? Will that effect the
effectivness??

It is 100% possible and okay to use anti
depressants while on bc pills..
I cannot use hormones, and I am already on
an anti depressant... Some women just
have more side effects than others, so
switching pills and finding something new
is a good idea.
I did that and it did not work for me.
Nuva ring is actually the most well
tolerated birth control in women who just
cannot tolerate anything else.
