Ok so I started taking birth control to regulate my cycle. I missed all of January! so i just started it, i mean in the middle of the month. Online it said it wasnt harmful and the pharmacist didnt give me any real instructions. So, last week i got my period at a normal time. Now I have it again? And to be blunt it's bad. And tv shows make me cry, im eating chocolate its ridiculous ! Now im like wow i should just have those short far between ones! LOL this is brutal. hopefully it will settle down though I have to call the doctor in the morning anyway might as well check. But if I stop the pill now it could screw me up more right? ahh girl problems

I have tried a number of birth controls, and I know what your going through. Yes, taking birth control will alter your hormones, and cause issues like this for the time being. But if they don't go away then go back to your doctor as it's not the right fit. They usually say to take it after your next period ends so it doesn't screw your body up as much. I have switch from different ones at different times of the month, and my body is just all over the place and as been for a number of years.

I will bring it up to my doctor when I go in just in case. I think he should check my hormones. I dont really like the idea of the pill, altering your body chemistry these hormones are too powerful!

Oh, I hope you visited your doctor first before taking pills. Don't stop taking it now. The best thing to do is to go to a doctor and have yourself checked. I hope you'll soon have your menstruation regularly.
