Nothing going on at the moment, but it shouldn't for about an week. However, I think it is important to write down all the stuff I will probably be feeling over the next few months:

-Headaches
-Feeling sick, being sick, and stomach upsets
-Sore breasts
-Depressive moods
-Loss of interest in sex (WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT, THEN?)
-Changes in weight (oh, god)

Well. This all will be fun, won't it? In the cause of my mini-scientific experiment, kindly tell me if you notice any of this happening to me because I will apparently be so hormonal and angry that I won't notice.

I might end up being happy and fine or I might end up the PMT monster of death. It's a little worrying, to be honest. Katie tells me that she swings from angry to depressed to massively horny and back again so we shallhave to see how I end up. I do get pretty severe PMT and I eat lots at that time of the month so this could be bad.

It's okay if I lose interest in sex, you see, because I will be ANGRY and a STONE HEAVIER. Also, this thing is 21-day cycle. Simon turns up in, um, 20 days or so? And I started this yesterday? *facepalm*

(It's worth pointing out that anything going on right now is all to do wih my actual period which is not of the fun at any time. Next week, now, that'll be interesting.)

Permission to metaquote? Providing I'm still a member, of course, which I think I am.

Heh! Metaquote away! Never been quoted before...

[purplerainbow.livejournal.com]

Done! Thank you.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I feel like I have made some sort of personal LJ history.

... god, I'm sad.

Loss of interest in sex, maybe that's how it works, the whole contraception thing.

BUT I AM USING LOTS OF CONTRACEPTION TO HAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF SEX WITHOUT THE BABY ISSUE!

*cries*

Whilst attempting to avoid TMI, whilst it may happen, it shouldn't last for long.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

but... Simon is here in three weeks and um, again trying to avoid TMI but well I don't see him that often and THIS IS NOT FAIR WORLD.

I only see Jo twice a term! Sorry, but decided lack of sympathy here

I'm more bitching at the timing for me more than anything else, in a sort of "DAMMIT! WHY IS THE TIMING LIKE THIS?"

LDRs are Bad Things.

Pill didn't do anything for me in any of those respects, actually. Only thing it did to me (I was on Ortho TriCyclen, btw, which I chose because two of my three sisters took it without negative side effects-- how's that for cheating, eh?) was make me this might be tmi but it made me, er, less personally lubricated.

Switched to NuvaRing because it was a pain to remember to take Pills, and that was ok as well except I did get a bit moodier. At least it was predictable, however.

The 21-day cycle usually doesn't include your period, right? So only this once it's poor timing. Also, if you can afford it, you can just cut out the week of sugar pills and pretty much just not menstruate. So in the future (perhaps don't mess with it this first time, but...) you can just skip to the next month's pack if you have an inconveniently-timed period. (My problem is that under the US healthcare system it cost me $28 a month to take pills, and if I threw out the 7 sugar pills that I was supposed to take while I was on my period, well hell! that's 7 more days of $1-a-day pills...)

21-day cycle doesn't include it, so, um, bah. *curses etc* You just stop taking the pill, though, rather than take sugar pills.

Yay for the UK health care system. Contraception is free! (Half the reason I'm on it - too much of the pain to go the student union or the doctors for free condoms, but thi once every six months is doable.)
