Has this happened to anyone else?
😠 I honestly can't deal anymore; five days is just way too long.
Yeah. And I was on vacation! A full, grueling 17 days and nights... which is funny because I didn't even start taking them until July..😵
So, the first pack: the bleeding lasts 17 days. I’m exhausted from constant spotting, falling into this weird lethargy, and basically accepting my fate that this might never end. Then suddenly (once I got back from the beach😁), it stops. I get five lovely days of nothing, then it starts right up again (regularly, exactly one day after finishing the last Logest pill). Okay, I think I can handle that. But then:
The second pack: I actually start two days before the last Logest pill, but the duration is normal, so I naively hope things are finally stabilizing..
The third pack (yeah, this is where the real fun begins😁): I start bleeding on the 11th day of taking Logest. It lasts 10 days, then I get THREE days of peace, and then it started again yesterday (consistently two days after finishing the pack).
To make this whole ordeal even more entertaining, around the middle of this third pack, I started waking up every single night with these horrific cramps in my calves (both at the same time!).😲 By that point, once the initial shock wore off, I managed to master this ridiculous, lightning-fast stretching routine that provides instant relief, though I also started fearing for my life. I called my doctor, who told me to finish this pack first (which I did, in a state of mild disbelief/panic) and then come in for Triquilar. I'm heading in on Monday to start a new, hopefully brighter chapter in my contraceptive saga😁
Honestly, I would have tossed these damn pills out the window immediately if they hadn't saved me from hellish menstrual cramps. They completely wiped out my lifelong struggle—that constant drilling sensation in my ovaries—so efficiently that I went from needing about six tablets of Advil, Tylenol, or Voltaren per cycle down to zero. So, for that, I guess I'll stick with Logest for now. 🙏
p.s. My breasts haven't grown even a millimeter, obviously.🙂
