Hello!
I need help deciding if I should quit my birth control now, mid-cycle, or wait till my next period. I am having major mood swings. I would ask my doctor but I kind of feel like she is one reason I am in this mess… here is some background:
I went looking for a new birth control to help my acne. My planned parenthood Dr. said it would be ok to switch from nuva ring to the pill, Apri, in the middle of my cycle without waiting for my next period. This caused major mood swings, an additional period two weeks after my last one, acne, and a yeast infection. So trying to get back to my normal cycle, I quit the pill timing it so that I could get my period when I normally would. Then I started a fresh pack of pills.
I am on day 5 of this new pack and I am a total wreck. I am depressed, crying, full of rage, wanting to throw things, break things, etc. I am glad I do not live with anyone because I don’t want anyone to see me like this.
I want to just throw away the rest of these pills right now. I know it is not ideal to quit a pack in the middle because it can throw off the cycle, but I just don’t think I can make it another 3 weeks without getting suicidal and breaking all my dishes!
Would you quit the pills? Or finish the month? Which would be the lesser of two evils?
Thanks in advance!!
