Ask your Doctor...they probably have a BC with a lower amount of hormone (whichever hormone it is that's causing it) that you can try next. I can't staaaaannnnnndd hormonal birth control...it fucks up your body, your hormones and has a risk of friggin HEART FAILURE of all things. Blah.
you're so right! my sister in law just about died from a big nasty bloodclot that travelled from her leg to her lung. it was caused by her birth control pills.
definitely talk about getting a lower hormone dosage. your doc should already have scheduled an appt to get you back in after 3mo or so to see if your pill is working out for you.
but i heard that although the pill increases your changes of blood clots, it's essentially a good thing because you otherwise wouldn't know you're susceptible to blot clots, and they can be found a lot faster. like your sister in law was probably already at risk of developing one. anyways, glad to hear she caught it in time.
my breasts were SO sore for the first month or two i was on the pill, but the pain suddenly disappeared and they're back in working order again. you may just have to give your body time to adjust to the hormones. also, going braless works for some people but not for others. i found it quite painful when my unsupported breasts bounced when i ran or jumped. a bra was actually quite helpful.
i'm not going to agree with you. it's NEVER a good thing to almost die, expecially when you have 3 little kids. her doctors had her on a double dose of the pill. the clot never would have formed if they hadnt have been messing around like that.
