Whoa, slow down there, ladies... what’s the big deal now? Why does everything have to be such a massive production right out of the gate? 😂...Let's take a breath here. Honestly, I don't care how many posts I've made or how long I've been hanging around this forum—it doesn't mean I have the energy to sit here and reply to every single little thing someone throws my way... it's totally irrelevant... ☕
The real answer is that I can't tell you anything about smoking because I don't smoke. I don't touch coffee, and I stay far away from booze—you know, that liquid devil 😁—so when I was talking to my OBGYN, that wasn't even part of the conversation... Look, it's not like I'm trying to "prescribe" anything to anyone—I don't want to and I certainly can't—I'm just sharing what I went through with these issues...
It’s actually a pretty good idea to go see a different doctor, lay out your symptoms, and see where that goes... And yeah, definitely mention the smoking thing... (Pro tip: use the search bar, it's your best friend: look up the Yasmin pill thread on this forum)...
😍
Wait, what? What do you mean waiting?😕
The plan: step one—get a new doctor... yeah, I’m totally with you on that one...👍
Honestly, I went through the exact same hell—the spotting, the crazy heavy flows, the bloating, the absolute hormonal rollercoaster... my inner monologue was basically just screaming "those days of the month" "kill, kill, kill," it was enough to make me pass out. I was popping whatever pills I could find and I was just over it. So, I finally went to see my OB-GYN, poured my heart out 🙂, laid out the whole mess, and basically told her she better fix this soon if she didn't want me to actually murder someone in the near future... after the exam, she switched me over to the Yasmin pill (I'd been on Yasminelle for two years prior) and I became a completely different person 😍... the murderous urges? Gone. That little dark voice in my head just vanished 🤷 and now I actually like my life. No more spotting, no more agonizing periods, no more bloating or whatever else... sure, maybe things get a little fuller down there 🙂 but hey, at least you don't have to go see a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills and drop a massive amount of cash to get them enhanced... 😂
So yeah, find a new gynecologist, be brutally honest about what's happening, and... good luck... 😁
Look, regarding those agonizing periods—I honestly thought I was going to kick the bucket, no joke🙂……every time my cycle hit, I’d bloat up like a literal balloon, basically looking like I was eight months pregnant. My body was just holding onto water like crazy; none of my usual clothes or jeans would even come close to fitting. My husband would just stare at me, taking pictures, and eventually go, "You know what? I'm calling the doctor, because if this looks normal to you, something is seriously wrong." It was enough to drive you insane. I’d be forced to take a sick day, just lying in bed and waiting to die, popping an entire box of whatever painkillers were available and then just... fading out. And don't even get me started on the hormonal mood swings. I used to tell my husband to just pack his bags, get as far away from me as possible, and not dare ask me a single question or even look in my direction. Same goes for everyone at work… it was pure Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde😠, total mood wreckage. I’d have these dark impulses, like I actually wanted to commit a crime🙂……even my ovulation was painful, which is just great.
I just got so fed up with it all. I couldn't stand myself anymore, and frankly, neither could anyone else since everyone tended to flee the room whenever my period arrived. So, I finally went to see a gynecologist at the Mayo Clinic, and they prescribed Yasmin hormonal birth control. And ladies, I am telling you, I am a completely different person now☕…….I don't know what kind of magic this stuff is, it's like some kind of drug😍. Everything has totally transformed; nobody even knows when my period is happening anymore because my hormones are finally under control and the chaos has stopped. My cycle lasts about three days, it's regular, and if there's any discomfort, I just pop a pill and that's that. I sleep like a log—honestly, someone could probably steal me in my sleep and I wouldn't notice (though they won't)😍. Sometimes I feel so happy I could just kiss everyone at the office. People actually ask me, "What's your secret? Give us the details so we can feel this good too!"
The only real side effect is that, yeah, my breasts definitely grew by two cup sizes🙂 due to the extra estrogen. When I mentioned it to my doctor, she just switched me over to a milder version, Yasminelle, and we're moving forward from there.🙏>
I would recommend this kind of treatment to every girl and woman out there. Why put ourselves and everyone around us through years of unnecessary misery? Just go to a gynecologist and ask for advice.👍>
Best,😍>
