Prior to getting on the pill, I had the 7day stretch with severe cramps the first two days. Now that I'm on the pill, my menstrual is only 3-4 days with medium to light flow.
My issue is the PMS. Not only do I want to stuff everything down my throat but I'm so freakin EMOTIONAL!! I wasn't like this in my early 20's. I often wonder if it's because I'm rapidly approaching 30??? Anything and everything will move me to tears a week prior to going on. What to do???
Now that depropovera (?sp) shot was a hot mess for me. I started taking that right after I had my youngest daughter (so I had to be about 23) and it BLEEEEEWWWWWW me up! I gained weight instead of losing weight after having that child. Then my period would never leave when it did come! Did not work for me!
