I'm not going to take my birth control pills anymore. I feel fucking suicidal right now. I'm way too hormonal, and I can't take it anymore. Something's got to give. I left work early, I was crying all day, and I absolutely HATE people seeing me upset

Ooh, you just reminded me to take my pill.

I'm not so in love with the pill I am on, its making me crazy tearful perpertual-period woman. I have decided to try the coil. Apparently it might not go in if you havent had a baby before, but what the hell its worth a try.

I would not recommend depo provera. It made me put on about 30 pounds. I agree about the implants - I know someone else who has had trouble with hers as well.

Try a diaphragm perhaps? I used to use one of those. Not so bad once you get used to putting it in beforehand. Kinda kills oral sex though since the spermicide tastes le foul.

Hope things pick up for you hon:)

Hmm.. I don't believe I have ever heard of the 'coil'. I wonder if it is approved for use in the US? I'll definitely check into that, I've never given birth, so I'll check into that as well. Is it removable? Is it similar to the IUD? I don't want the IUD.

I really appreciate the tips Jinx, I need all the help I can get at this point.

My doctor basically told me that the pill that I take is tricking my body into thinking its pregnant at all times, so you can imagine my hormone level. I'm okay most of the time, but my emotions build up like a pressure cooker, and when it gets to the breaking point, boy does it explode.

Perhaps see if you can try a different pill. Try a progesterone only pill (mini pill) (If you are on one containing oestrogen now). Or jsut see if the doc has any ideas.

Already done it. I've been on the new pill for about 5 weeks now. No luck :(

I was going to suguest the coil too though my mum used it when she was younger and she eneded having it removed becuase it moved else where or something like that :\

Do all pills trick the body into thinking its pregnant all the time?

I don't believe all do, but I've had really bad experiences with certain pills, so I am limited on which ones I can take. They tend to turn me into a suicidal mental case. I was fine taking this pill for years, but when my doctors started making me take it straight for 4 months, skipping the placebos, it turned on me and made me a mental case.
