oh no Caitlyn, back on the pill lol
I think everyone is fairly well versed on our sex life =) like one big happy..creepy..family :p
:o
it's alll good...
Fun pill update for all who are interested or bored enough...
i've been off since the 27th of the 4th (yes i checked the old post when Jesper told me I should stop)
So that's a month exactly...
Man has it messed with me. My cravings and mood have been all over the place. Has anyone else gone off after a while and had any similar experience?
I generally get a little bit grumpy just before it starts but..i was crying on Thursday night for absolutely no reason.![]()
What you have described is pretty normal Caitie. The pill keeps all that 'grounded' so when you stop its a bit like whoa. Obviously not everyone experiences the same thing though.
On the pill there wasn't alot of difference in moods/cravings just before it started but there certainly is if off the pill.
You don't want to know how tragic i get just before
Cravings are less so since i started on my healthy eating plan (avoiding the word diet) but my appetite increases by a fair whack.
You know how to find me if it gets too much.
Hi Caitlyn
Re: going off pill....for me ...ages ago!! So can't really remember effect!
But I would suggest that you try a herbal remedy called Vitex aka Chaste Tree
get the fluid extract either from a healthfood shop that has a herbal dispensary or your local friendly naturopath/herbalist. or do you have a women's health centre close by?
Dose is 3-5 mls first thing in morning...you can take for your whole cycle for a few months...once stabilised...then take for the 2nd half only...ie; day 14-28
A good high dose multi vit-min formula along with a liver tonic may also help
if PMT continues to be a problem topical progesterone cream available with a script in aus [or you can buy from US...no problems with importing for me] may help
But try the Vitex first and see how you go
google "estrogen dominance" for more info
cheers

Useful info there Mac. That vitex might be good for me. I tend to catastrophrize just before cycle and sometimes it can be a bit scary.
