hi ladies..urrgg am i tired of feeling these up and downs. i traded out my birth control pills that made me bleed for almost 3 weeks of the month and then my period had stopped last month. i almost killed my hubby with these raging hormones. any suggestions? ive still got to wait to have a normal cycle one time before starting on new pills but meantime, im hauling my bum around trying to motivated to be nice and humble LOL. well, ive got to say, 6 months postpartum so far and really not getting any better yet. How long did you ladies find bouncing back to the normal hormone cycle after giving birth??

HI ladies...Ive been on YAZ after different birth control pills. Now 8 months postpartum, for the first time on the cycle and for the majority of the month had controlled mood swings and anxiety levels. I believe its not only a birth control but has medication componant to treat mentstrual psychotic symptoms. This is the closest i felt like im not on hormones and feeling happy about it. And i DONT WANT to murder my husband LOL. He probably agrees this is a great turn for me as well hehee.

Aww Lina I hope your cycle settles down. I didnt bleed after having Joshua and exactly 4 weeks later had my first normal cycle which was fine and pain free. I think I was extremely lucky in that deptarment. Didnt you want suggests on how to kill hubby hehehe.. aww only joking, I really hope it all settles down, when is your next cycle due to start the new pills? If they are irregular cant you start them without a cycle? I know I have before now had to start new pills before my af put in an appearance.

Hugs coming your way babe xxxxx

Aw Lina, must be hell! I hate being hormonal, coz dh just passes off any mood I have or any time I'm mad at him with 'That time again?' grrrr

I had my first af 6 weeks after I had Ben, and they seemed pretty normal at first, but every now and then I have a blip, where one month is shorter and another time I can be late! Its all very confusing and am begining to wonder if it will ever be regular again!

hI ladies..back again..ive stopped YAZ for a month just an update. since i last posted, i have skipped my period and had longer bleeds during my menstrual...overall, i told the doctor last week i refuse to go onto another birth control...so far, ive been really hormonal but i think its from going on my period on my own, without the help of any pills...we will see what happens.  Atleast i can really say, my husband is  much more supportive of me when im crying.   What would you all do if you dont have regular periods again, would you go back onto pills with their side effects?
