Think maybe my pill is making me grumpy?

[Laranna]

Oh yes, definitely possible! The pill made me grumpy and moody. I was such a different person when I stopped taking it and I felt so much better too.

maybe look into a different contraception

[stacey83]

oh yes yes yes...

your body is very sensitive when it comes to hormones and the slightest imbalance can cause all sorts of mood altering symptoms...

i have been terrible on the pill aka-this is why i know the pill can make you crazy!!

I am on a new pill called YAZ its so expensive but its sooooo good i feel so great on it and it also helps with anxiety which is good for me! Ive noticed a huge change in my general wellbring..i dont snap as easy and i dont get irritable anymore thank god! even my periods are so much better i dont feel a huge rush of pms the week leading to.... its all platoed out and is smooth sailing for me now yey!!!

i'd suggest you talk to your doctor and change your pill hope it works out for you

The pill I'm on is a low dose pill and I've tried a few, this is the first to not make me feel nauseous. An example, DD has been sick over the past week and while I wasnt taking the pill I was so sympathetic towards her and got up at all hours. Last night after taking the second pill out of this cycle I turned into mad woman & got so frustrated at the poor thing waking up. I just feel its really changing my moods because normally I wouldnt think twice of getting angry at DD waking when she is sick iykwim. Maybe this is just a sign to stop taking it all together and make another baby lol

He he, must be a sign, start baby making!

MadsMum, it's tricky hey. I had a good friend who turned into some sort of banshee when she went on the pill (went off it pretty quickly!).
I was on a low dose pill and it affected me quite a bit too (for me it was libido-wise though), though I didn't realise how much at the time.
So I'm not a fan really. Perhaps you will just have to suck it up and be diligent with the condoms?

MM yep I was a pill crazy too. For me, it was on a triphasic pill, I would turn the corner, take the new colour pill and within 24 hours I was a moody irrational cow. When I twigged I went back to the drs and she put me on a different pill - felt totally normal again.
