New BC pills = problems

This may be TMI for Mark especially.

I had bleeding start last night and then today. So of course I wondered what was going on since I just had AF 2 weeks ago and I am on BC pills. I looked in the pack only to discover I missed two doses, Sat and Sun. I looked up what to do about the missed doses and came across the warnings with the BC pill I am on. Among them are don't take if you have a history of depression, a thyroid problem (we're testing to see), or uterine fibroids. I had two of those and possibly the third. In the start of August I went to the health department to have my yearly and the woman there told me the pills she gave me were similar to the other ones I was on. I guess they weren't close enough because all my problems started this month, the first month I used the new BC pills. I am still going to get further testing done to check my thyroid, especially since my mom told me there is a history of thyroid problems on her side of the family. It is good to know we at least have some answers.

  • Yikes. It sounds like you have a good clue to part of the problem. You would think they would have asked you about starting any new BC.

  • The depression is a common problem with the BC pills because it can sometimes worsen it.  You would think they would ask about thyroid problem though. 

    Hope it all works out.

    I didn't know about a possible thyroid problem when I started the new bc pills. The doctor I went to said the bc pills could cause an abnormal result on the thyroid test. That is why they are doing more in depth testing. I go for the next round of tests tomorrow.

  • Well, at least you are getting some answers. I hope it all works out for you, and you can find another one you like. 

    And thanks for the reminder, I need to start mine today, especially since I had a dream last night that I was telling people I was pregnant.
