So this isn’t really a question or anything more of a rant sorta but I’m really upset because birth control didn’t work out for me. I used to have super short cycles and get my period very often so I got on birth control to regulate that, and it was also an extra line of protection since I am sexually active. I was super excited to have everything regulate and be extra safe. So I got on the pill and the first week went fine, but week two things started going downhill. By the third week I was absolutely broken, cramping, horrible nausea, killer headaches. It was a physical and mental struggle to finish off the pack, I had to force myself to finish the last week and every time I took the pill I wanted to throw it back up. I finished the pack and never went for a refill, my period started back up normal but my mood never went the same. I think the pill made me horribly depressed and it’s still something I’m trying to fix (I took it the month of October, 2017). It killed my sex drive and I don’t feel myself anymore. Truthfully one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made in my life which hurts because I really wish I could be regular and have the extra safety. Anyone have a similar story?
