Anne,
I was very interested in what you said about Yasmin. I wish I could take such a med, but 30 ugs of E.Estrogen I think would send me to the hospital. I am still reeling from my two day trial of Loestrin. The panic feelings have passed (I thought that was just me, panic can come from the pill?) but I have this awful resurgence of depression and very short fuse. I have snapped and lashed out several times in the last few days, something that was being controlled nicely by my Lithium. Now I am scared that I will not get my equilibrium back. How long does the estrogen stay in one's body after discontinuing the pill? I know some of it was still around, because I continued to be plagued by the headache I developed on Loestrin.

I have decided to go back to the Micronor which is norethindrone .35mgs and no estrogen. I have been on this for years to decrease my heavy period, cramping and pms. However, I have developed heavy bleeding (common on Micronor, I hear) and my gyn thinks I need a regular pill. I DO NOT at the moment feel adventerous in trying other preparations, because I had the same reaction to combo pills about 7 years ago. I just hoped I had "changed"! Clearly not so.

Do you know anything about "natural" methods of controlling pms and heavy painful bleeding? I know some women use progesterone creams. And I see them advertised on the net a lot as the catch all "cure" for women. But are there side effects and are they effective? Does anyone know?

Sorry this is so long. Just wish I could find a good way to control my cycles without making my emotional problems worse. Trying a combo pill was extremely DEstabilizing, and I so hope that I will get back to myself soon. Now, I feel awful.

I hope you are hanging in there ok. I too hope you can feel better and avoid surgery :)
Chloe
