16th December 2005
I was on the pill for many years. I tried numerous different ones (Estrostep, Yasmin, Triphasil) & never had problems.
After the birth of my daughter in April 2004, I went on Orthotricyclene LO. I didnt realize it for almost a year, but the pill was causing me to be irritable, depressed & I had no sex drive. I figured I was feeling this way because I was a new mommy, but I still felt that it may have been due to the pill. I just felt keyed up all the time.
Well I went off of Ortho-Lo for about 3 months (Sept to Dec 05) Let me tell you I felt great except when I had my period (heavy periods & fatigue). So I spoke to my GYN doctor & she told me to try Ovcon 35 (low dose) to see if my periods improve. Ive been on it for a a little over a week & I feel awful! My poor daughter is getting yelled at for the littest things, my husband doesnt even want to be near me. Im a train wreck! Ive deceided to stop taking it because I dont want to live my life like this!
I spend my days feeling guilty for my mood & behavior. I feel so crappy.
Please offer me some advice :confused:
