This Hormonal Flare is DRIVING ME INSANE
Mostly, I just feel like venting. I have been having issues with birth control, and it does not matter what pill I am on (previously Yaz, then switched to Yasmin, then back to Yaz, and now Sprintec), I always have breakthrough bleeding at the SAME time on the second month. Well this time it got worse, and the nurse and I decided that I should take the placebo pills, have a period and hopefully they can regulate it. They thought the pill with the higher estrogen would help. We were hoping I could do continuous birth control for 3 months and then have a period. After I hit a certain week in the second month, I start bleeding. If I continue to take the third month, I bleed for a whole month. Ugh. Just wish there was a way to get this regulated.
Usually I just get one bad day of pain, but it has been non-stop this week. Usually it is just bad before the period, but this time it is bad during too. I have not been able to do much research, which sucks. I tried going in one day and had a reaction to my pain meds (almost could not drive home b/c of being drowsy). Luckily I made it home fine. I seriously hate hormonal flares, and I wish there was something they could do to get this all regulated. It is almost like my body is fighting it for some reason.
It has been so painful to the point where I have to take my Norco every 4 hours, and sometimes have to take 2 at a time. Hopefully when my period is done it will get better. It has been going on for a week now, and hopefully there will be an end in sight. I have been doing my rescue treatments (seems to help a fraction right now), but other than that all I can do is take my Klonopin and pain meds and sit with a heating pad.
It sucks being a woman sometimes. I could use the views of my boyfriends 14 year old sister: 'It sucks being a girl, but at least we get to look pretty all of the time.'
I shake my fist at my uterus, and bladder. They both suck.
