May I just say that I’m glad a medical reason kept me from taking birth control pills. I’m glad you are less crazy, and hoping your zits don’t come back. I’m 43 and just got over having zits, so I know how badly that sucks!

I took Ortho for 6 years in my late teens and early 20s. Never had any problems with it. Then I came off. And went a little whack-o. After our second baby, I wanted to go back on, but was too afraid of all the craziness that might happen, so haven’t.

About the last year, I feel crazy the week before my period and I’m not on birth control. I get so angry so fast and then cry so easily.

I asked my doctor about it she just said welcome to your 30′s and to exercise more. But, lately it has been so bad. I would like to get my hormones or something checked too.

I am so glad you’re feeling less crazy! And man, I am so darned lucky with birth control. I’ve had several friends struggle with the crazy hormones, but I’ve lucked out with mine. (The pill, not the hormones. Because sometimes those are still crazy out of whack.)

I tolerated birth control okay in my 20s but in my 30′s it made me nuts. I was quite glad to give it up. Good luck! (Just think – you could do a series of wig reviews for Blissdom! Kidding…it will even out.)

Hormones (pregnancy + artificial) had a weird effect on my hair, too.

I get some of the hair loss postpregnancy as well but the biggest part was hair color. My naturally blonde hair always grew in darker post-pregnancy and the pill kinda had that effect as well.

And then there was the flutters of anxiety — ugh. Had that, too. Never again.

Glad you’re feeling better.

I left a comment on Emily’s post about me going to the Essure procedure in October. So now I finally had my confirmation tests and am birth control free for two weeks and just posted on my FB that I didn’t know BC pills helped me sleep, LOL! I must be suffering from withdrawals! Anyway, like you my hair has been falling out like crazy, but it was prior to going off the pill, I think its due to the Pristiq- my A/D, but like you thankfully I have a lot to lose. I do feel less moody, but of course I haven’t taken a jury poll (the family). Thanks for sharing!
