Wish I did this sooner!!!

Omg. I grew up in a household where birth control pills were pretty much outlawed. There was no talk of them and you dealt with what you got. Well after sooooo many years of semi-heavy bleeding, severe cramps, severe symptoms like heat flashes almost and insomnia... I finally asked my doctor. I’ve been on them for about 6 months now and it’s been almost a 180 degree turn! My cramps are actually manageable, I’m not sweating through my clothes at night, I’m not worried I was going to have an accident at night, and most of my other “symptoms” are gone or very rarely show up. I used to take 1000 mg of ibuprofen at a time(every 2-6 hours) while simultaneously keeping a heating pad on high straight on my skin for hours at a time.

I honestly thought mine were considered “normal” until I tried birth control. I feel so much better. I don’t need to be worried anymore. It’s such a relief.
