Surfing the crimson wave

I left my birth control at home when I moved to Indiana. Not really a huge problem, since I'm not planning on putting myself in a situation where pregnancy is an option, but I haven't been off of it in 3 years. I have no idea what it will do to me! I originally began my prescription to clear up my skin and regulate my menstrual cycle so now I'm afraid being off of my meds will do just the opposite! I've had so many dreams that I've grown a giant pimple on the first day of school or gotten my period unexpectedly and in the middle of a crowded place. I've also been sure, on numerous occasions in my waking life, that my period was on display for all to see.

So far none of this has become reality but I've still got a month before I'd expect it to return. I'm almost positive my dreams will play out in some comical (and horribly embarrassing) fashion before September is through.

I will keep you posted!

  2. I was on it for a few years for the same reasons as you and then decided I didn't want to mess my body up in the long run due to taking medication. Since I've decided to be as natural as possible (in terms of not taking any medications anymore) my skin remained clear, my period is much more normal and less painful, and I lost all the weight I gained while taking birth-control pills!! I'm also friends with a woman who had a stroke and the doctor told her it was because of the birth-control...and that scared the crap out of me!!
