Surviving separate states is easy. Surviving together is hard.

Ah yes, I totally forgot this aspect of her issue.

Aongel, if you ever wanna chat about how it's like living without E, give me a call. We've been through it dozens of times for various reasons (usually work and/or school).

Clearly I cannot speak from first-hand experience, but I do know a few things second-hand ( ... )

As an addition, Robin goes to the Washington County health department for her girly checkups and her pills. She really likes the doctor there, although I do not know her name or the pill she prescribes. If your income is low enough, it might even be cheap or free. We have to pay because we are rich, but even so it is cheaper than going to a private doctor and pharmacist.

Good luck.

I've taken three kinds, and they were all good for me, (ortho try lo, yaz, and yasmin (the generic form of yaz). But everyone else made a very good point about just keep trying stuff, go to a new doctor, see if they have free samples of a couple different kinds, try one for a few months, don't like it, switch, until you find one you like. There is also the depo shot, which I have heard is a good "last resort" For some people they don't have periods, for others it is a constant thing, regardless, its a shot in the butt every three months, probobly not the best idea until after you have a steedy place of residence and doctor in said place. As for the needing alone time, i've been there. And some of that is probobly due to BC, but you will have those feeling sometimes regardless of med's. It is difficult because your still used to alot of "you" time (and for some reason guys don't seem to need as much of it as girls)and it takes time and tears to find a happy medium to what you are used to, and what he wants. trust me, Kevin and I ( ... )

When Brendon and I first got married, and I moved to Pittsburgh, I was on Ortho-tryclen. It made me feel awful too. I had severe nausea, mood swings, you name it! On top of that, I was very sad and depressed because I had just left all of my friends and family and I hardly ever saw Brendon because of our work schedules. It was one of the most difficult times in my life. If you ever want to talk about it, please call! I have been where you are in all of those aspects. Bren and I spent our whole engagement apart and much of our dating relationship as well.

Now I am on Seasonique, which is a three-month pill and I'm having the same problems. My doctor tells me to give it some time and the symptoms *might* go away. I really hope she's right, but I don't think I believe it.
