I HATE the pill 😩
I started taking BC when I was 14 to regulate my period and to help with the excruciating pain of cramps. (I would be in bed crying for 2 days straight when I got my period because the cramps were that bad.) However, the pill caused me to have horrible mood swings. So, I switched to the patch. My period became regular. I would know when I would get my period and when it would stop (when I was on the pill, I'd get it for a month and then it would be a waiting game to see when I'd get it next). I'd still get cramps but I wasn't down for the count when I got them. I didn't have a problem with acne (I never did.) Unfortunately, my insurance doesn't cover the patch and I can't afford to pay $300 every month for it so i had to go back on the pill. I take the pill at the same time everyday and I never miss a day. My period is back to being irregular, the cramps are back to being unbearable, I spot all the time and my acne is out of control. I never even had problems with acne when I was going through puberty! I go to the lady doctor next month so I'm waiting till then to talk to my doctor about switching to a different pill. But if anyone has any suggestions, it's much appreciated! Also, if anyone is wondering what I'm taking.. it's called Aviane.
