I have been having "lady" issues for the past month, and by that I mean I have had my "friend" for over 4 weeks now. I'm not exactly what is going on with my body (I have an OB/GYN apt September 21 don't worry) but I'm pretty sure my birth control has something to do with it. I have been on the pill since I was 15 (over 10 years). I tried Yaz, which made me a ragging lunatic a hot mess. I am now on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo and while it doesn't make me cry everyday, I think it's starting to have a negative affect on my body (low sex drive, dryness, weight gain, moody, etc) and I'm OVER IT!
I approached Future Mr about going off of it last night, thinking he'd slam on the breaks right away, and he tells me that he's perfectly a-ok with it, saywhat!? Yeah he says he thinks that birth control is the devil and it does all kinds of crazy/unnatural things to your body and he agrees I should go off it.
Baby? Maybe. I told him that he realizes what can happen when I don't take it and he informed me that he's ok with that happening too. SHUTUPRIGHTNOW (thanks Hailey, I totally stole that from you). Am I talking to the same Future Mr that wanted to wait AT LEAST a year after we were married to have a baby? The same one who says he isn't ready yet since he's only 24? Yep. He says he's ready now. We will be married in a little over a month and he just wants to wing it I guess, if it happens it happens. God knows what we can handle so He will give us a baby when He knows it is time for one.
For now I am really looking forward to not worrying about what I'm doing at 10 pm because it's BC time! I am really hoping to send Aunt Flo packing ASAP, she has over-stayed her welcome.

WOW, that's crazy exciting!! And SO sweet of him to be so supportive! Eeeek, no more BC, how exciting!
ReplyDeleteOoo yay, SO exciting!!
ReplyDeleteAnd omg, I cant believe your wedding day is SO close!
CREEPY... I have had mine for 4 FULL weeks too... oh wow!! I never share either, but I am so glad you did. I went to the doctor last week, and she put me on a medicine that is making it worse in hopes of making it better. She put me on the pill to try and help me, and I start that this week! I am freaking out though, I don't want it for the wedding!! But... the bigger news here, um... WOW... that is exciting! Guess its out of your hands.... =)
ReplyDeleteI had the same issue with ortho tri cyclen. It has something to do with the fact that there are three different pill doses in one pack:
ReplyDelete1st week - strongest.
2nd week - weaker.
3rd week - weakest.
Which is why it messes with your body and makes you have your period for a lonnng time.
and it's awesome that future mr. is so ok with it! you're right... what's meant to be is meant to be.
I'm thinking of getting off of it too. Let me know how you feel off of it for a bit!
This could be way too much tmi...but I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen low for about 5 years and all of the sudden it started making me really sick. I was thirsty all the time. I felt like I was going to vomit 24/7, I was having MAJOR cramps and my heart would pound out of my chest. I went to my obgyn and it was FOR SURE the birth control. Cause she had me go off of it immediately and within the week I was all better.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh AF for 4 weeks!? that is cruel and unusual punishment!
ReplyDeleteYou're braver than me going off a month before your wedding. I certainly would want to be knocked up in my wedding dress or on my honeymoon.
ReplyDeleteI also hate BCP! Very exciting!!!
ReplyDelete4 weeks! i would die! I am excited for yall and you are right God has a plan for you two!!!
ReplyDeleteSweet one, Sometimes when I am extremely stressed I flow much more as well. Praying that everything will be okay and SOON!

I hate Yaz! I went off of it a couple months ago, too and have been feeling so much better.
ReplyDeleteYour wedding is so close! Yay! It will be here before you know it! Sorry about your bcp problems. I am lucky I take the regular Yasmin and have had good luck with them.
ReplyDeleteI went off BC too for the same reasons! EEEK for you!
