Advice requested
Are any of you on the pill? And if so how does it help your period symptoms?
I was shopping with a few friends yesterday- when I was caught out short and didn't have any pain killers and as a consquence was not in the best of moods. One of my friends suggested to me that I should go on the pill so that my symptoms arent so bad. However everyone I know on the pill has had at least one bad experience before they found the one that suits them and I really don't like the idea of mucking with my hormone balance.
So my questions are:
What type are you on? (if you know)
Have you had any bad experiences/if so what happened?
Does it really help combat pain?
What about the other symptoms? Does it help with the nausea?
Does it/did you, have any side effects?
Ok, thank you. Its the first time I'm seriously considered this and I'd be grateful for any feedback. I have a doctors appointment in a few weeks and I'm thinking about bringing it up with her and see want she says. None of my family have been on it and my mum only says she knows the scare stories from the 60s, so I'd be grateful for any first hand experiences.
