WHY DIDNT THEY TELL ME?! ❌
I just recently got on birth control to balance out my hormones.
My acne, and my moods, my terrible periods…I’ve had enough. I’m exhausted.
So they put me on them two weeks ago.
Just telling me that I will cry a lot. …over the tiniest things- but I should be fine and it will “level” out in about 2 months.
Okay.
Well.
Excuse me…. But here are my symptoms- and ladies let me know if you’ve gone through this.
- hot flashes.
-paranoid (to the point that I can’t sleep)
- weird cramping.
- boobs hurting (like I’m on my period)
- acne gets better one day, and then in 2 days it’s gets worse. (Again, not on my period)
- always so freaking tired. I just lay in bed all day.
- so emotional- I cry like someone just killed my sister.
- not hungry much. I eat one meal a day and that’s it.
- my mental state changed- how I think about things and how I feel about them.
(it’s only been 2 weeks, damn)
I don’t know if this is supposed to be happening. But it’s a lot more than I bargained for.
I’m going to stick with it and wait it out for 2 months. But if it doesn’t get better I’m going to have to try something else.
Any thoughts ?

When starting birth control, many women experience a range of symptoms that can catch them off guard. Hormonal changes can lead to hot flashes, mood swings, and even fatigue. It's essential to understand that your body might require time to adjust, and side effects, like acne fluctuations or emotional sensitivity, can be part of this journey. In some cases, women report feeling paranoid or overly emotional, often leading to sleepless nights. These reactions can be quite intense and may leave users wondering if they made the right choice. It's crucial to engage with medical professionals about these experiences. Sharing your struggles with others who understand can offer comfort and insight, making the experience seem less isolating. Additionally, it might help to document your symptoms daily, allowing you to see patterns and report them accurately to your healthcare provider. Adjustments to the type of birth control or additional therapies may provide relief from the more severe side effects. Remember, you're not alone in this; many women share similar journeys. Connect with your community and explore various support groups to find reassurance and shared knowledge.
