Pootwatch

[vaginasaur]

On Sunday I brought Pooter home with me. Things have been going surprisingly well! He kept me up until 6am the first night, and wakes me up every night around 4 because he's bored/ronery and demands that I do something about it. The first couple of days, Sekou wouldn't come near him. She hissed and made mean noises, and Pooter would make some back

also sometimes your period will come out dirty brown when youre on the pill, especially when you first started and your body is getting used to having your cycle adjusted. i dont know exactly why, maybe someone who knows actual biology terms for whats going on will clarify for me, but creepy dark period has totally happened to me before, i think its pretty normal

Thanks for your input!! I definitely am bad about taking shit at the same time every day because I don't wake up at the same (I probably should, to get myself into a routine). BUT if I can take it at night without it making me hyper, that would be awesome!

Any particular reason why you switched brands? Do you happen to know if they're making generics yet?

If they aren't making generics, talk to your gyno about stacking. I take Ortho-Cyclen, and until I got sick of the cost stacking up, too, I'd take 3 months of active pills, back to back, then lay off for a week. It worked out pretty well for me, and the cost of 3 packs of something that they do make generics for might be less than 1 pack of something name-brand if you're paying out of pocket.

In all seriousness though, that does sound pretty crazy. If only I could offer advice! ;_;

Actually, wait! They do make a generic for Seasonique called Seasonale! I think Jolessa might also be another generic for the same stuff, as well....

LOL
Oh, you're right! It mentions that right in the wiki article I linked, but I didn't even notice it. Thanks! :D

seasonale isnt the generic of seasonique, its the same pills with no hormones in the period week of pills. seasonique has a low dosage of hormones in the off week

[vaginasaur]

Yeah, according to the article I clearly didn't read very well, Jolessa is the generic for Seasonale.
