Howdy! I'm new and today I tried my first Instead soft cup. I really, really like them. It was kinda odd to get used to at first, but so were tampons. Since I'm so small (5' and 109lbs) I thought they wouldn't work well, but they do. Yay for me! =)

ugh..

I just got my period. And without a warning sign. Usually a week before my boobs hurt, but this time I woke feeling sick to my stomach and I realized I got it. Ugh.. and I'm going over Shaun's house (my boyfriend) and I wanted to do some things.

questions on birth control pills

Hey there,
I believe this is my first time posting a topic on this community :)
Anyway, my doctor put me on ortho tricyclen this week, and I haven't gotten my period yet so I haven't started.
I just wanted to ask people what they've experienced with this pill. I've heard conflicting things about it, and while I know it varies from person to person, I wanted to get a general concensus. I've heard people got hardcore mood swings and gained weight, and my they have absolutely no side effects on some people.
Anyway, any input would be great, thanks :)
