Serious Birth control Question?

Question

Okay so i am on synphasic, and i have been on it for about 4 months now, and i have been very moody lately and me and my boyfriend got along great before i was on it, but since being on it, i have over reacting over everything and im shocked hes still with me, but we are both guessing that it's the birth control doing this because me eing moody only started happening one month or so after taking the birth control. So im wondering how many girls have gotten moody from birth control? because im not guaranteed that's what it is, im just guessing. But im also thinking about going off birth control for a month to see if i get any better with my moods, so im thinking about finishing this month, stoppin for a month, and of course use codoms, and then start again in a month or so on a new package. Is this healthy?? If not, then is it healthy just to stop for ne month, then going to get a different kind of birth control? Please help. 10 points best answer.

Answer 1

Yes, birth control can definitely cause some moodiness. I do disagree about Nuvaring, though. I have been on it for 4 years and I love it. Because it goes directly into your v****a, the hormone levels are very low and because of this the side effects are minimal. I did not gain any weight and had no mood problems. It never falls out of my v****a and I even leave it in during s*x. I only have to think about it twice a month. It's great.

Basically birth control functions by tricking your body into thinking you are pregnant so that you do not actually release any eggs. Sometimes this can cause symptoms of pregnancy because of the hormones that are used to do this. I would talk to your doctor about getting on something low-dose like Yaz or possibly even Nuvaring.

Answer 2

I don't know what kind of BC you are on but there are many different kinds. You need to talk to your doctor and tell him what is happening so he can give you an RX for a BC pill that is right for you.

Birth control is also more affective than condoms so I wouldnt stop the BC.

Answer 3

If i were you i would go see your doctor.  Most birth control has an extremely high dose of hormones in it and that is why you may be feeling different or sad and unusualy irritated. I have tried three different kinds. I would switch unitl you have found something you are comfortable with. AVOID nuvaring. it has a low dose of hormones but it falls out durin s*x or youll be sleeping and wake up and its in your bed!!!!!!! Yaz  i heard is good. Try that! experiment a little. Good LUck
