I wanted to say this as well: why do we feel like it's all in our heards, why are we so relieved when we find other testimonies of how badly a bc pill has affected us? Because we don't believe it's the pill, because no one really warned us. Another thing: my period is still VERY painful and heavy. I went on bc strictly to prevent pregnancy, not for painful/heavy periods (otherwise I might have tried to switch earlier). So there is no guaranty that the pill will give you a lighter/easier period. It affects everyone differently. The point is, you have to decide whether you want to take synthetic hormones. I don't anymore. I am gonna try a cervical cap.
