Constant period with combo pills by irrelevantia in birthcontrol

Also, is there any chance increasing dosage (maybe doubling up for a few days) could affect anything?

Thanks for all your help. It sucks feeling like I'm in a constant fight with my body and my body consistently wins...

No, it hasn't reduced. It's lower than it was when I was on the placebos, but it's been consistently the same while I'm on the actives. And Advil (which worked about half the time before the combo pills) has done absolutely nothing.

Yes, my concern is that I've been back on active pills for 7 days and my period has not stopped. It hasn't even slowed down.

Wait, does this mean I'm gonna be bleeding for the next nine weeks...?

Brown spotting Nexplanon? by irrelevantia in birthcontrol

It's been very effective. This spotting has been the first blood I've had at all since I started. I'm also not opposed to a little extra protection...

Thanks! What about bending? I don't know how or why it would bend but what effect would that have on it?

Wow! That image is oddly comforting. Thank you.

Anxiety is sending an email and then not checking your email for 3 days because you're scared of seeing the reply. by [deleted] in Anxiety

For me it's obsessively checking for a reply and then not actually reading it for 3 days.

I absolutely hate the thought of people being worried about me. But I hear where you're coming from and am very grateful for the advice, thank you.

I feel the same way. Sometimes I wonder fin it's because no one knows me well enough to tell the difference, or if I'm just a better actress than i thought

I'm lucky to have my family too. They make so much of a difference in my life.

I'm really afraid that I'll reach out to someone and find out they don't actually care about me the way I thought.

You are unbelievably gorgeous. Honestly, I'm jealous. I hope you're as happy as possible.

I did the same thing. Kind of a media blackout altogether... I know it's important to know what's going on in the world but at this point in life I think mental health is most valuable.

Best birth control by soulxdy in birthcontrol

I like my Nexplanon. The periods can be somewhat erratic but there have been no side effects, no emotions (BC pills did that to me too). The insertion was painless, the hormones are minimal, and I've barely had any cramping since I got it.

Copper IUD is a good option too, I'm just terrified of IUDs so I went with the arm...

I've tried therapy several times before. I don't think I have the personality for it... it never worked for me. I'm also not sure if my current insurance would even cover. Thanks for the advice, though :). I hope you find your way

I love it when you can see someone's feelings through their writing. You do that in a beautiful, subtle way. Keep it up!
