I wasn't looking forward to Synarel either but I've been on it for 17 days and really haven't had many side effects. Headaches and I've had about 3 really flat days where I've just wanted to cry all day for no reason but I pick myself up again and carry on. Haven't had any hot flushes etc at all...
the others gave me some niggly headaches, but i've never managed to get through a cycle on the pill. 10 days was the longest, which was last year after being told it was essential due to finding pre-cancer cells. pill for 6 weeks before surgery. after 10 days i was so ill with the migraine, they took me off it, i ended up in hospital bleeding uncontrollably, and surgery was moved up.
after the op, the gyne wanted me to have the mirena, but i'm so damn scared of the impact of the hormones that i just can't do it!
i got a headache or two when i started the pill, but eased off after the first week (same thing when i started syranel, and like faye i had a few random days where i have felt like crying for no apparent reason). i have been spotting the entire time while on pill (around 3-4 weeks) , nurses tell me this can happen and is 'normal'.
havent noticed weight gain, maybe a kilo... but i havent been eating that well lately, so might just be too many coffee & cake days.
