Q about BC

Hoping you ladies can help. I'm currently on the patch (since February) but I'm thinking about going off of it. My mood swings are off the chart (this cycle especially for some reason), and it's effected my "yoga" as well. I seem to have trouble getting going, then staying in the mood. I'd like to get off any form of hormone BC and I think some of you use natural methods. Got any advice?

Re: Q about BC

  • Pick up and read the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility.  After charting TTA for 6 months or so, I don't think I'll ever go back to hormonal birth control.

  • I second this.  I wish I had learned about charting a long time ago.

  • In addition to readin the book mentioned (which I also recommend), you can take a look at fertilityfriend.com.  Their tutorials are also a good way to get your head around charting.

  • Also, you can talk to your dr about trying a different bcp if you still want to stay on something - I've been on a couple different kinds (some of this was because of changing medical insurance etc) and one of them made me go crazy.  I switched to something else and was back to normal, so it doesn't have to be all or nothing.
  • I agree with Amandasw. I've tried a bunch of things and they all worked a little different. One gave me boobs, one made me crazy and one was just right.

  • There are also two different types of implants that are non-hormonal.  Talk to your doctor!!
