If you are on the Pill (or any other prescrip med), St. Johns Wort can reduce the effectiveness of your birth control! Women are becoming pregnant at higher rates if taking St. Johns Wort at the same time as the Pill.

Please consult your doctor if you are taking both at once!

Has anyone recently switched birth control pills? I was on ortho, but i didn't like it b/c it make me brake out worse, so i switched to Yasmin which is a semi-diaretic pill with lower estrogen for smokers. I'm concerned b/c i no longer get my period on the 3rd or 4th sugar pill, i've been getting it on the 5th, 6th or 7th day of sugar pills! and then on top of that, my last period was only 2 days and then discharging for two days.

has anyone been on Yasmin, i know it's brand new...

has anyone had the same problems with other pills or with switching (it's been about 3-4 months since i switched)

should I take a pregnancy test? i take my pills regularly and have been on them for 2 years, I don't think it's possible i could get pregnant because supposedly it takes months to become fertile after being on the pill. but i'm just concerned about the irregularity in my periods, and I know that can be caused by pregnancy...

is it all in my head?

Well I have the shitty scheduel tonite.. 4 to close.... YUCK! and I still have major cramps from hell and I am now officially on my period today. ERRR! Anyhow, I thank u all for responding to my LJ entry yesterday night. I got a lot of feedback that I am not the only one who has the period blues(problems) I sometimes wish I could have everything taken out (hysterectomy.) I am too young (21). Everyone tells me that would be a mistake."Cause what if you want to have children one day?" I am like NO WAY!!! I helped my mom raise my brother(8yrs now) and sister(10 now) since I was 12 yrs old when my father died.I just moved out on my own in May 2001. I think it is time for me to live life. Anyhow, I know for sure I am not thinking of having children. I hope that it could be possible to do this one day soon. In my family of women on my fathers side all my aunts and cousins have Endometiosis and I my cousin who is a nurse thinks I have it cause she said her periods have also been painful all her life. Mine are really painful to the extent where I could crawl into a ball and cry. Uh Anyhow, I hope I don't bite anyones head off at work-- especially customers cause I feel really grouchy inside... Love ya Hon.. :)
