Well, I'm a week into the second bout of Colleen's Adventures With Microgynon 30 and there's not a lot to report, really. I'm a little more emotional than usual (you've all seen my LJ, let's be honest) and I did find myself crying my eyes out over some fanfiction earlier (and also some rubbish show on BBC3 the other night - can't remember what it was about, but there was a small child IN TEH PERIL and then TEH PERIL ENDED and I cried, ahem) but that's about it.

I think the hormonal effects are decreasing, definitely, which is a good thing. Skin is shot up to hell again, though, so maybe that theory is out of the water, but there we are.

Also: Period was, now I think about it, twice as long as usual. I am a lucky human being in that respect, normally - three days is my period, on average, but it hurts like hell and results in me curling up in a small ball and it's fairly heavy - but nope, twice as long. However, it really didn't hurt, I didn't get any PMT, no cramps coming up to it, nothing.

You know what? Despite the hormones, ALL PRAISE MICROGYNON 30. Thus far, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Unless you count remembering to take the damned thing - I find it a horrible nd wrong prospect for my family to find my contraception, so it's currently wrapped up in a towel in my suitcase. I need to set a reminder on my phone - I don't see it every morning so I don't remember to take it until about 3pm when I flail a bit and desperately take it going "Oops, that could have been nasty..."
