I've noticed over the past few months that sometimes I get very grumpy at the smallest things and I no longer seem to have as much patience as I once did. I've been on Loette now for around 7 months. It seems that when I stop taking the pill during the cycle I am fine, however as soon as I go back on it I get grumpy. I've started my new cycle as of two days ago, could it work that fast in affecting my mood?!
Don't know for sure, but I think that it could. I hate being on the pill because I feel that it affects my moods. Being on the mini pill I don't have the same effects as when I was taking the regular pill. Maybe go to your Dr and see about getting a different brand.
YES! The pill made me a mad woman! I had to stop and go on the depo needle, which still made me cranky but not as bad.
I too would snap at the smallest problem when i was on the pill, especially in the morning! Ok im still not a morning person but much better now since i stopped taking it and have been charting my cycle/ billings method combination.
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 :)
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!
:hug: 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.
I'm going off the pill in Jan 09 after nearly 9 years on Diane 35. Me thinks I will be a new woman!!!
Like you, I always feel great (apart from AF) during the week I don't take the pill and as soon as I am back on it, within 3-4 days I feel stressed and wound up again. I cannot WAIT to go off the pill!
After my horror night last night with my DD, the thought of making another baby has totally been erased from my mind :lol:
Last night I was thinking about it, seriously I think I'd better just come off the darn thing. Its not worth the anger I've been feeling, its ridiculous I cant believe it.
The only thing that makes me hesitant is, we are getting married next March and I'd love to be period free on my day. Afterwards we are off o/seas on a honeymoon as well so no period would be bl00dy excellent then too!!
We are going to Melb this week so I wont change anything yet, but at least that will give me serious thinking time. I just dont feel like its worth the anger and frustration I am showing towards my precious girl after taking it, I really feel like the worlds most awful mother today. :(
Well I guess you have to weigh up what's more important - do you want to be wound up on your big day and during your honeymoon or take the chance that AF might not show?
I would be coming off the pill if you are this worried about your moods. Maybe you could go to your GP and ask for a different one?
Good luck in your decision.
Yes thanks AmySarah you are right. When we get back from Melbourne next week I will be coming off the stupid thing. WOO HOO I feel a weight lifted already.
theres a pill that im on called YASMIN and the words of my doc "the wonderpill" . iv found that im still bleeding on it 9 weeks straight but-but then i bleed on every pill. as for my moods - iv hot depression and iv got to admit i havent been half as bad as before on this pill..(in a good way)
im lookin at other contraception when i see my gynae next week.
hth
love rach xxx
Try the depo needle? Lasts 3 months and I don't get a period at all on it :) Neither does my sister or my friend (we always go together to get it done lol)
I'm seeing my GYN in January where I'm going to get fitted for a diaphram. That way I won't have any chemicals from contraception clogging up my system.
Might be worth a try?
