I’m asking because I wanted to hear from people who actually have experience with the pill. Geez, calm down—of course a doctor would be the one to prescribe it, not me. I’m just asking out of pure curiosity because I’ve been reading up on it.
By the way, Michelle Wilson60, I have a quick question regarding birth control pills. Is it actually true that you can't take certain types if you smoke? I’ve been scrolling through some forums and now I’m just completely confused. Apparently, you’re supposedly only allowed to take the POP mini pill—the one with just progesterone—in those cases.
Thanks for the advice, ladies. I’m going to try to find a new OB-GYN as soon as possible; it’s such a relief to hear there’s actually a way out of this mess. 🙂
Lol, obviously I do. I just really need this pain to stop right now, so I'm looking for some advice in the meantime.
I would be incredibly grateful if anyone could offer some advice here. For the last few months, I’ve noticed this brownish discharge, but honestly, I didn't pay much attention since there was no pain involved. However, over the past month, the pelvic pain has become absolutely unbearable. I finally went to see my gynecologist, and she ran all the standard tests—bacterial infections, STIs, pregnancy—but everything came back totally clear. She couldn't find anything abnormal at all. I have a follow-up appointment this Monday, and I told her straight up that I think it might be a hormonal issue and asked about starting birth control or something similar. She played it cool, basically saying "maybe," but she wants to wait a bit longer before deciding. Frankly, I don't have the patience to wait; the pain is just too intense, so I’m going to insist she prescribes something immediately. On top of all this, my period has been completely irregular lately, consistently showing up a few days earlier than usual. If anyone has any insight or advice, please help—I feel like my doctor is being plain stupid. 🙂
