BC pills used to be the answer to my prayers - I started taking them when I was 14 because of the cramping, throwing up, diarrhea (sorry guys, but YOU started the thread
), couldn't be away from the bathroom for more than an hour, etc.
But about 5 years ago, they stopped working. I can take them and get ZERO effect - and I've tried them all.
In addition to the other physical problems, I also have a big problem with anemia now.
I have migraines which are exacerbated by my periods so my Dr. doesn't want me to take the Depro since once it's in, it's in and he claims if the BC pills aren't doing anything, Depo won't either.
If one of you gentlemen would like to come to my home every 14-36 days (it all depends.....), take care of me and THEN tell me there's no such thing as PMS, my door is always open.
But as LM said - taking pills continously for 3-6 months has been done for at least 20 years and is very highly recommended by most doctors.
