Birth Control
"I was having a very hard time finding a pill that controlled my periods- I would be on a pill and get my period in the middle of my cycle or when I wasn&#039;t supposed to- or it would start too early or too late after the sugar pills. My doc suggested higher hormones, and I have been on Reclipsen for almost 2 years. It regulated and shortened periods- no breasts or weight gain, mild acne improvement. But it took me a long time to realize how nasty some of the emotional side effects have been! It brought out the worst in me (hyper sensitive, on edge, almost &quot;bipolar&quot; at times) and for the past 6 months I&#039;ve also had extreme depression. So I am switching to Yaz which is supposed to help a lot with the emotional stuff due to lower estradiol."
