Let's Talk About BCPs aka Let's talk about my new BF
So now that I have a need to be on a BCP again, I figured I'd consult you ladies to get some insight & recommendations.
I was previously on Yaz, but it made me feel kinda crazy & apparently that hormone isn't good for you. Was on the Patch in college, but it made my legs feel all funny. Was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen as a teen & it also made me crazy. Was on Seasonique right around the time of the wedding, so I'm not sure if the crazy is attributed to the wedding or the pill. Could go either way. Did have some pretty severe cramping about 2 months in & quit that sucker.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Re: Let's Talk About BCPs aka Let's talk about my new BF
I'm on Seasonale (like Seasonique but comes in generic). I do sometimes have bad cramps but it's usually just for a few hours.
Have you looked into an IUD? I was planning to get Mirena but decided against it since we'll be TTC in the next 1-2 years. I liked the possibility of having very light to no periods over time.
When I was on BCP's I took Levilte. It is a low dose pill and they only one that didn't make me crazy.
I was on Loestrin Fe and loved it. I normally have cramps from hell and they were much better on the Loestrin. My periods were also a lot shorter and lighter.
Does it have to be a pill? I'm going tomorrow to get Implanon. They'll put it in my arm and I won't have to think about it for 3 years.
Because of my past issues with hormonal BC, I'd prefer a not-so-permanent method.
Just looking for other people's experiences. Last doctor I consulted was less than helpful, so I'm hoping the new doctor has more insight.
So does this mean you have a new man in your life?
Maybeeee. Okay, yes. Yes I do.
You know you have to tell us more now...
Loestrin is the only thing that didn't make me crazy. I haven't been on anything since before B because I hated hormonal BC
LOL! Knew that was coming.
About 2 weeks ago I met him at trivia with some mutual friends. We totally hit it off & made a pretty solid trivia team (always a good sign). We've been to dinner a few times, survived the FL/FSU game (Yes, he's a Gator & I'm a glutton for punishment), he loves my dog... He's funny/witty, charming, sweet, sarcastic, a great kisser.. All good things. Only problem so far is I think he might be too old for me. But I'm just going to roll with it & see what happens.
Sounds like he is great! Boo about being a Gator though.
How old is too old??
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?
