Before people come in asking what the heck this is, it's a type of birth control pill.
I'm wondering, any of you ladies taking this and/or have taken this before? I'm having some odd side effects (nasty mood swings, nausea, vomiting, bloating, dizziness, etc). None of these side effects are severe if you look at them one by one, but the total of all of the side effects is really bizarre. This isn't the first BCP I've taken, although I typically have used Depo. Unfortunately, my current insurance doesn't cover injectibles (bastards) so I'm trying this low estrogen dose type BCP. I've been on this for 10 days. |

I've thought about that, Diana. The problem is that there is a number of health risks and I'd rather not deal with something like premature menopause. haha
The side effects have really tamed down though, which is awesome. I'm considering going the mirena route, once I look at cost estimates and how much my check to check expense would be if I took out enough in an FSA. |
