I've been on the pill for a little over two months and I've been moody and depressed. The smallest things set me off and make me cry. I'm driving myself nuts and everyone else because I tend to react over stupid stuff. Also I'm not really into sex anymore and I have a really hard time orgasming and sex kind of hurts during intercourse. Not a whole lot but enough to make it not as enjoyable. I need to know what my options are. Would it work to change pill brands or will they all have the same side effects or should I try another type of contraceptive. I don't like condoms and I want something really effective. I'm interested in the shot but I've heard it gives you irregular periods. I need help!
Hi honey! I would suggest you being put on a progesterone only pill, the only down side is that this has a lower birth control effect I think it's about 97 - 98% over the mini pill! also I know you don't like using condoms, but I tell EVERYONE to use a condom regardless if they are on the pill or not! This negates ANY chance of pregnancy and virtually of getting STI's! It sounds to me like you have too much estrogen! Also keep in mind that with a lot of BCP it can take a good 3 months for it to work and settle in the system!
