Has anyone had any bad experiences or reactions to the contraceptive Pill?

I have just been taken off one because it had a adverse affect on me...My Hormones went nuts, my body actually thought I had just given Birth!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! No not on the pill but I hope everything gets straightened out for you!!!

YES I HAVE. THE GIRLS IVE SEEN HAVE LOST THEYRE DRIVE AND IT WASNT ME BEFORE YOU SAY IT LOL ITS FACT

Some women can't take the pill and some have to just play around with different ones til they find one that works with their bodies. I've never heard of that, but it doesn't surprise me much.

Lots of non-hormonally based stuff out there to use if you're uncomfortable with trying something else. You'll find something that works for you.

Things are returning to normal after a week...I thought things were not right when I got the baby blues and started producing Milk...at my age!!!!

Any of the ladies gone through the baby blues?

I had the baby blues, many years ago. I got very mixed up emotionally, chemically and physically, yes you are right in that respect.

I became the most illogical and nasty woman, which was not a pleasant thing to go through, you have my sympathy. On the bright side these sorts of problems are easily resolved these days once one knows what they are dealing with.

Thank you for your comments...I thought I was going barking mad for a time, I didn't have a clue what was going on and started beating myself up verbally (and those people closest to me) Which I regret. Did you do a similar thing?

Oh and welcome to JSH by the way

Yes Stylish that is exactly what happens in a minor way, I have witnessed far worse though. You should count your blessings, there are many woman out there who are suffering far worse and do not understand what is happening.

You had the intelligence to realise that something was wrong and sought out professional help. Things can only get better now.

So are there any other woman on here who are possibly going through a similar thing and don't realise what's going on?...hormonal things, the Pill, Pregnancy...

Bonjour, I shall have a good read, thank you

Stylish, there are things you can do for yourself too, to speed the process up. Are you eating properly? Cut down on any chemical additives, do you Smoke or Drink? Try and put into your body as many good things as possible, fresh fruit etc. Stress can also be a major factor too, is there anything that is very stressful in your life? Also Isolation can make things worse, Do you get out enough?

Bonjour, my GP said similar things.

Oddly enough, I have just given up smoking and drinking...well in the last couple of months or so, even though I didn't smoke or drink to any degree beforehand. Iv'e always eaten a healthy diet...

I have a reasonable amount of stress in my life, but again that's being reduced, I worked out what was stressing me and am taking positive action to get rid of some of it.

Isolation.... yep plenty of that, but that will sort itself out when I sort out whats causing the stress...Its just all work a no play at the moment...hence why I came on this site

It looks like your GP is taking good care of you, and has a handle on the situation.

Things will improve quite quickly for you, of that I have no doubt, you will feel your old self again in no time at all. Hormones are a very powerful thing, they are also a very delicate balancing act. But as I said before, your GP appears to have things under control.

Thank you once again...I read that web link, very helpful.

with the pill, your at higher risk of dvt (blood clots)

theres many many different ones, and it can take a while to find one that suits you. totally normal, dont worry

I took the pill for years but girls kept getting pregnant

YOU ARE SOOOOO WRONG BABY!!!!
