I am in tears today.
About a month and a half ago, my doctor changed my birth control without telling me. It's "basically the same" because they're both Progestin only pills because I can't take anything with Estrogen.
Unfortunately, I woke up in extreme pain this morning and I almost had a mental breakdown when I realized that it was my period, despite the fact that I've been taking the pill every single day at the same exact time. I don't know if it's that this pill doesn't work as well as the last one or what, but when I was on Slynd I never even had spotting. Now that it was changed to Jencycla, I've been cramping a lot, but it wasn't nearly as bad as period cramps so I didn't mind all that much. Then my back started hurting like it did during my period, but I made note of it and moved on.
But today. Today I woke up in so much pain, that very familiar pain, the whole reason I'm on birth control to begin with, and I wanted to lose it. I'm sobbing as I write this post because I'm so sick of it. I'm so tired. I don't want this anymore, I don't want to "handle" this anymore. I'm in so much pain. The pills were supposed to stop this, what's the point of taking them if they don't even work???
