implant...as in IUD or something?Originally Posted by missymotus
I only ever had mild cramping and it was more of a pest than anything. I have an implant now and don't get my period
Oh, yeah, I must admit, that *is* the huge downside to not having your period, not getting that reassurance that you're not pregnant - I am always so afraid that even though the chances are slim, I will get pregnant and be one of those people who doesn't find out until they're like seven months along or something (when it's too late for an abortion) - I am probably singlehandedly supporting the HPT industryOriginally Posted by yasmine
I've heard mixed stories about depo-provera from ppl that used it...i mean, me personally i dont want to have my period BUT if i didnt then i'd always wonder "what if i were prego" b/c my b/f (of 5 yrs) and i do not use any protection. BUt i guess it all goes back to a previous post....body chemisty is all different-- but i'm glad that you found a solution!!! I'm hoping my appt today will bring me good news!!!!!!

I used depo for the past year because I could no longer use b/c due to high blood pressure, and even though my period wasn't "normal", I would have random spotting a few times during some months and other times not at all. Around the time that I was "supposed" to ave m period, I would still get cramps even though I wasn't bleeding. My doctor says that is common as well. I have mixed feelings. I haven't been "active" since last year so right now I have mixed feelings about getting my next one.Originally Posted by Juniper
Oh yes - I had HORRIBLE cramps - I mean, I would be doubled up in bed unable to move for three or four days straight, it was awful. I tried going on the pill, and it lessened the pain a bit, but definitely didn't get rid of it. Then I went on Depo-Provera, so now I don't have a period at all, which means I don't have any of the horrible symptoms that go along with it - Depo's gotten a really bad name, and it definitely isn't good for everyone, but for me it's been a godsend (and I haven't had any other side effects, either).
I feel the same way...i'd be the 1% that would get prego....but what is HPT? the morning after pill??Originally Posted by Juniper

Isn't it funny how differently our bodies react?? Ortho-Tricyclen was the first pill I was ever on and it was miserable! I threw up all of the time, felt bloated almost constantly, and was just soooo unhappy with it! Finally I found Yasmin and it's been like my savior! No sickness (other than brief nausea, which is the best I've had so far with any pill), no bloating, and total happiness! I just always find it interesting to discover how differently we each can react to the same thing!Originally Posted by squirtle
I normally don't have any problems at all. No cramps, moodiness, cravings or anything. But recently my doctor switched me to Yasmin, to see if it would regulate my hormones due to the pituitary tumor, but I immediately became very depressed and moody. It was really badSo I quit taking them after 5 weeks. I had to wait for my period to come before going back on my ortho-tri cyclen, so I was off pills for 3 weeks before it came. I had the absolute worst cramps, was very tired and achy for the full 5 days. I just started back to my regular ortho-tri cyclen pills Sunday and I am much happier now!
That is so interesting! I guess your my complete oppositeOriginally Posted by katspixiedust

Catlover- have you ever been checked for anything?Originally Posted by catlover7731
Just kidding. I have a strange period sometimes it will come monthly sometimese every other month and sometimes every 3 months. Once in a while I will be lucky and just get moody pms symptoms, but most of the time the 1st 3 days I don't want to move , eat or be bothered( hard to do with 2 kids and 2 cats ). I also have heavy periods that make it all the more uncomfortable. I never have been on the pill and will never be on it for personal beliefs. I guess it is just part of being a women . oh well it's better than being a man.
No, it's an implant just under the skin on my arm about 2 inches long.Originally Posted by yasmine
