Birth control for peri
Posted , 6 users are following.
So... back in November I started birth control for symptom help. The doc insisted I stay on it for at least 3 cycles before I give up. Well it has been 4 and some symptoms could be considered better but many have not improved. Fatigue for example. Also... I feel even more anxious wonderng why all is not better since the pill is aupposed to help peri. So now I think it must be not connected to peri and might be something bad.
In addition I often feel nauseous but still eat. I am not sure what to think. Everywhere I read it says that there is rarely problems and they go away after the first few months. Internet almost calls birth control a magic pill which is not what I feel Any experience with that?
I still have mood swings, some random numbness, IBS and lower belly pain sometimes. Fatigue is a big one too Some things have gotten a bit better but not enough.

I know for me the pill gave me anxiety. I had to stop it. I was in the ER with chest pains so I know that it can contribute to already existing anxiety.

I didn't stay on it long enough to find out. As soon as I started having the anxiety, I got off of it.

Hello
What pill are you on? I was recommended merina coil which they tried to fit last week, they couldn't do it so the idea is now for me to try the mini pill to stop my cycle completely. I have heard so many horror stories about this pill but then you get the odd success story so I'm hoping that will be me. I too have the bad ibs, depression, pain, hot flushes, nausea and seem to now always have spots so I'm hoping it works and not makes all that worse. Have you experienced weight gain?

I am on estradiol-fe tab. I still have a week with light spotting. I am not sure what is going on. I do really hope it works for you. I have not experience any noticable weight gain. I don't ever weigh myself but I have not noticed a difference. Try it. I was hoping so much this will prove to me that it is all because of hormones and now I am not so sure anymore

I'm not a big fan of the pill, but it sounds like this one doesn't fit well with your body's chemistry. There are dozens of pills on the market for a reason. They each have their own chemical makeup. Some have a higher, or lower estrogen/progesterone content. Some of the synthetic progesterones (progestins) have a high or lower testosterone activity. So sometimes it's finding the right pill for you that more closely matches your makeup.
Having said that, I never did well on the pill. They just aren't right for some women.
