Wow there has got to be a better way than that..

Edit: If you've only tried the one pill and had a bad time of it, you really shouldn't give up yet. See your doctor and try another one till something clicks for you.

now that you r on levlen you dont have the spotting anymore,right?what is levlen,is it combined pill or progestrone only pill?
levlen is a combined pill. when i was on it the breakthrough bleeding stopped, but i have stopped taking the pill altogether now cos i was having heaps of side effects (mainly mood swings, bloating all the time) and i just couldnt take it, besides i was no longer in a relationship so i didnt even need birth control. when i was getting the pill i was getting frustrated by the unhelpfulness of doctors, too.

LevlinEd really screwed up my metabolisim as all the pills would i guess. I was constantly hungry and I'm a little girl.


Edit: 54kg for someone who is 166cm & I dont have boobs and im small built, minus my muscular thighs.
Thats not that heavy for someone that height, I used to weight that and I am 155cm.

Do try ther types though, they dont effect everyone the same and there are different mixtures of hormones.

I am lucky that Levlen doesn't give me any thing like weight gain or acne

Yeah bobet I wouldn't worry I'm a few cm shorter than you and about 52kgs and I'm quite slender, you probably were just used to being really small. I had a minor panic attack when I realised I'd put on 4kgs but it resulted in a nice little hourglass shape happening which is nice.

Going to the gym a bit more regularly though...any more weight on the ass/hip region and I'll drift into pear-shape territory, do not want. lol.

Hey guys I took 2 pills this morning 'cause I'm a moron (took one when my alarm went off then when I got up after snoozing 50000 times I forgot I'd already taken it lol and popped another one)

I'm at the end of my active tablets, should I just leave it for a week and start back on them as normal or what, I guess I'll just be a day out of sync now or something?

If your pills are in sync with the days, then I'd take the sugar pills and take one extra day off and then go back to normal.

just be careful because you will be unprotected if you're sexually active

Somehow I'm two days out with my pill, its driving me nuts. I think I lost one in the carpet one day, and double dosed a different day. Either way, I just take my first two pills from the end of the packet and that fixes up the days for the month

But you're already taking 7 sugar pills, what difference does 8 days make? Surely any time you go back on the active pills, you won't be protected for the first week? But yeh, that's a good point.

Isn't it? :D

Still not used to them. I've bought a couple shirts without trying them on like I used to do because I was flat chested enough that holding it up to myself was a good enough indication that it'd fit. Got home to a rather snug-fitting surprise around the bust area :eek:

note to self: do not rush-shop, make time to use the badly lit flaw-enhancers that pass for change rooms :uhhuh:

To skip a period, you just don't take the inactive pills (the white ones you take when you would ordinarily have your period, there's only 4 or 7 of them).

Keep taking the active pills and you just won't get a period.

Yup. I haven't had a period in almost a six months. Ain't it grand?
