Should I come off my Pill?

[mumfor1standfinaltime]

Hi,
I have been feeling so different for last few weeks, moody and tired and just generally snappy. Not sure if it's down to my pill and I want to come off it.
I have been taking it for years and stopped to have ds, since going back on it (same one) I haven't been feelig myself.
I have spotting between pills and having pains. Am seeing the doctor next week, and not sure what to do.
I can't face the idea of having a coil or having other things put inside me!

Just need to chat.

Hi...
How about the injections? Not sure about contraception as I dont use it, but if the pill isnt making you feel well, theres no point carrying on.

I was thinking about injections, don't know anything about it though.
Have been searching web but so much gumph to go through and thought mumsnet might help!

all i know is its every 3 months i think in bum

Hmm sounds good lol! I think it stops you bleeding altogether?

sorry no idea - think coil might.

Thought of a coil makes my skin crawl!
Looks like it may have to be condoms, which I hate.

theres an implant aswell i think you can have in your arm? or a patch? sure ive heard about it on here...

Theres a male pill aswell... not out though yet i think.

Thanks Queen, just feels good to get it off my chest.
I have been so snappy last few days and having headaches. Looking forward to going to hairdressers later!
I did wonder if I may be pg, but I have had a af 2 weeks ago and too early for a test.

Thanks, you are a star. Just seen your thread, hope you are feeling ok x

ill be fine...

you have to scroll to bottom of that link.

I have found it, had good read about injections so am going to ask doc about that next week. The patches one is weird, never heard of this! I suffer from dermatitis (skin complaint) so this is not for me. Good easy to read link, just what I need lol! Thanks.

How about trying a different brand of pill?

Hi, I did think about this too. I wonder whether to try mini pill.

Am in simialr position Mumfor1st and posted a thread recently. Am worried about the side effects of the pill especially the possible links to breast cancer, but am not overly keen on the alternatives.

My friend was on the one pill & was very moody & unhappy & the dr changed it & the next one was fine.

It seems to vary so much between different people & I've read things where it's taken trying several different ones before they find one that's ok for them.

The alternatives do seem 'messy' don't they!

I have been on this pill for 13 years (one and only one I've been on) so it does feel weird that it is causing me to feel different, I am guessing that my body has changed from having ds.
