Problems With Birth Control Posted: 11-25-06 02:46am
I just started taking birth control
(desogen) for the first time ever about a
month and half ago. The first month was
hell, I talked to my doctor and they
pretty much told me to try a few more
months since its the first time i've ever
taken bc and if it's still bad I should
switch, something like that.
Well i've taken it for another half month
and it's hell, i've literally gone crazy,
there is no way I can suck it up and keep
taking it.
Basically my question is if I just stop
taking it now (mid month) and just start
up later with another pill, will I have
the same effects? Will it be like
completely starting over again, side
effect wise?
Thanks!!!

You should wait until the end of this
cycle to stop taking the pills. Stopping
mid-cycle will cause your body to get off
track hormonally and your period may be
late/early which will cause all sorts of
worries about pregnancy/other problems.
Some women do experience symptoms that
disappear within a few months of taking
hormonal birth control. But if you feel
this is not right for you, then find
another option (there are plenty) that is
more comfortable for you.
Good luck

I really don't know if I can make through
the month though, it's making me literally
crazy and I have finals coming up and I
just don't want to risk. I went through
all my midterms while I was crazy from bc
and did really bad. It even made my
period worse!!! My biggest concern is
symptoms not a late period. So how would
stopping now affect my symptoms?
