I spent most of today researching stuff on the internet. Not wasting my time. Not fiddlin with games. What was I researching?
Why birth control of course.

Remember how I said I figured the different progestins probably have different levels of activity so I shrugged off what my doc gave me at first? Well, I was right, but it would still be a lot less if I went to Alesse... basically 41% of the potency.

seriously, what the fuck went wrong with birthcontrol

I remember my mom, and my friends mothers and such went on birth control to mellow out, and it easied their moodiness, regulated cycles etc. Now it turns people into very moody pyschotic teenagers

I ask you
Double you

"Maybe I should just switch to a doctor that I can actually see when I need to -_-."
That might be a good idea Marvalon: 150 micrograms desogestrel, 30 micrograms ethinyl estradiol
The hormones have different names... I'm confused. ;_;

Oh yeah, researching means links. Links pls? :}}}

Ahhh there's nothing like ranting about the injustices of the pill. :p

Theres only one kind of estrogen used, and lots of different kinds of progestin. The different kinds of progestin have varying effects on testosterone levels (or "Androgen". If theres a severe lacking of androgen you lose your sex drive :(! If theres too much, you get acne and gain weight D:

So basically that one you mentioned was:
Estrogen: 30 micrograms, Progestin: 0.15mg

I found this site: http://www.wdxcyber.com/ncontr13.htm to be excellent at explaining comparisons between brands.

I found this site: http://www.fpnotebook.com/GYN83.htm to be awesome for REAL information regarding drugs. I find SO MANY BLOODY SITES out there say "Oh, no, b.c.p doesn't really cause weight gain, its just you." This site is really truthful but its rather technical. Dictionary.com helps at first when you don't know what it is you're looking at. :)

i can't take the pill or the shot and some other hormones stuff because i will have a stroke. IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY HISTORY OF STROKE, DO NOT TAKE THE PILL, in case you didn't know.

Thx :}
I didn't know that, but I've probably read it numerous times and disregarded it because theres no history of stroke in my family that I've ever heard about :}

...just lots of cancer D:
