Before my first born, my cycle would be about as predictable as.. well, it wasn't. I could have periods one week a part or four weeks. While pain didn't have me falling over into a coma, the migraines I get right before starting would. And I had one day of moderate, then 5 days heavy and one light. By heavy, I mean, I could blow out extreme or overnight pads in a 4 hours, two on the ones with four weeks a part.
The first time I started, my thought was, "Oh, let me go into menopause now, please!" My Gyn at the time put me on birth control to help regulate it.. Oh, it was much easier when I could predict when I'd need my migraine meds and when I'd turn into a complete bitch. Oh, did I mention THAT side effect? I didn't? Oh, yes, my cycle was such that I would break down into tears or rage at the drop of a pin and with no reason at all! I hated it, because I had no control until the BC kicked in.
Now, after the first kiddo and gaining some weight, my periods have become more regular, less volatile and while I get migraines, the periods themselves are sensible. The mood swings are down to minor irritation, a bit snappish, but nothing like before. Now, if I could convince my OB/Gyn that it'd be a good idea to give me a partial hysterectomy...
