I think the next time I go to my gyno I'm going to have to talk to him about my PMS symptoms. Seems like for 1-2 weeks prior to my period I am absolutely miserable. I hve about another 10 days before my period will be here and I'm bloated, have had weight gain (much more than usual), I'm having hot flashes, my back hurts, my breats are swollen and I am irritable!!! SOMEBODY HELP!!!! There has got to be a solution to this problem! UGH

Aug. 9th, 2003 12:26 pmI've got another BCP question. I started on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo last Saturday (the first day of my period) and one week later, I still have my period. It's light and brownish, but I'm still like getting blood clots and stuff. Normally, when i wasn't on the pills, my period lasts 6 days, sometimes on the 7th day I would get a slight brown discharge now and then. Is it normal for the pills to make your period last longer? I suppose it's because I've just started on the pills and my body isn't used to it. Could it be that my last cycle lasted 40 days instead of the average of 33 days it usually is?

Aug. 9th, 2003 07:42 pmDay 2, and im about to drink my 4th and final cup of tea for the night! nothing yet. Im starting to get a bit apprehensive as theres no signs this is going to work. I dread drinking it every time because it tastes worse and worse each time. yuck! Im thinking maybe it isnt working yet because my first 3 cups yesterday, I only used 1 TEASPOON of flakes, I swore thats what it said on the post, but before my last cup before bed..I checked and it was 1 TABLESPOON. So, Ill drink my last cup for the day and start again tomorrow. It says to do this no longer than 3 days, so Im hoping it works by tomorrow! *crosses fingers* pleaseeeeeeee aunt flo, COME!! :|
*That sucked*
Aug. 9th, 2003 11:23 pmHey guys.
Well...Wednesday I had entered the hut. I went out and partied that night too and everything was ok. Thursday...I did the same...although that is the worst day for me it seems like. Anyways...yesterday was ok, but today...at work...I was fine. I started feeling kinda heavy and I knew I was bleeding...I could feel myself...I hate that...*yuck* Anyways...I went to the bathroom to change my tampon and I took it out...god...huge clot. I thought I was going to be sick...naaaaaaaaaasty!!! I changed my tampon and thought I might need another one although I only had 2 hours left at work, but I didn't...thank god. I got home...changed it again...it was normal...*whew*
Anyways...thought I would share. I hate clots and heaviness! *yuck*
*hugs*
