I'm 20 years old. I've been on birth control for about a year now. I used to take cryselle and now I'm on Alyacen. On cryselle, I always had my periods for 3 to 4 days. Now on alyacen, i get them for a day at most. I've never had very bad PMS. Occasional light cramps, backaches, and sometimes sore breasts.
That was a little background.
I just started my period this month and for the week leading up to it and still now, two days in I'm having HORRIBLE PMS. Cramps that are making me nauseous and my breasts are so tender, it hurts to even lightly touch them. I'm miserable and nothings helping.
My question is why is this happening now? Nothing has changed but these symptoms are all of a sudden terrible this time?
Any advice is appreciated! Thank you
