I need to know if anyone else takes birth control, and is 30? What are you going!
Question: I still take birth control, Ortho-Cept. I have been going through some bad mood swings, depression, severe cramps, headaches, nerve problems, sweats (day or night), etc. I haven't felt like this before. I don't understand what I am going through, but it's pretty bad. I stay nervous all the time. I get reallly aggravated at the least little thing. It's like I am going through menopause, lol. Seriously! I feel like just hiding somewhere by myself and crying. But I just started going through this, here in the past two or three weeks. I need to know if some other women are going through this? Or have you been through it before? Please help me. Give me some idea what could help?

I was on the pill for 6 years, and was starting to have the same problems with it, and couldn't stand it anymore. I am not 30 yet, but I know that you also shouldn't be on the pill after 35 (health risks go up.) I definitely feel for you though, and it took me awhile to get off of them. I did, I got the Paragard copper iud put in, and I feel so much better with no hormones!! But, there are some other non-hormone options (just not quite as effective) that you can try to see if you feel better. The diaphragm or condoms.
