its really stressful, when you cant seem to control it.
obv there are time and folk who do use it as an excuse, but there a people who do get genuine reactions like that, its so frustrating

nope - very rare with moodswings, same with cramps. am pretty lucky that way

I've had the implant about 7 months now and I have felt really stressed for a while but I think that is just due to what's going on in my life, how long have you had the implant for? I got told to wait 6 months for everything to settle down.

I don't have a "cycle" as such, but I can tell when I should have cos I get that weepy way over the most insignificant programmes too. Or stories in the newspaper. Steven just laughs at me. And hugs me.

I'm the same...it seems to be worse since I've come off the pill (been off it for nearly 4 years now). I think it's related to the physical pain that comes with it. I get so sore that I just neck a couple of pain killers and go to bed. It's not that I'm more argumentative when it's my time of the month, I think the fact that my body feels so fragile carries on to my mental state and I cry at the stupidest things (happy or sad).

I refuse to portray myself as a poor little maiden that needs wrapped in cotton wool once a month.

Yeah i do see what ur saying but sometimes it effects people diferently. 1 of my friends turned into a completely different person on the pill was so strange. Im one of the lucky 1s tho as the pill has seemed to make life so much easier for me!

i'm really snappy and irritable when i get PMS, i tend to cry at stupid things too, then feel really stupid a few days later. Ho hum :/

Crystal Mighty · 5th April 2006, 6:48pm

cripes so you have really given it a chance then, let me know how the cutting out procedure goes, the thought of that scares me

Zenith · 5th April 2006, 6:51pm

hehe will do
yeah i went back after the first 6 months, due to month long periods, and they said well we said there would be side effects

then told me to wait longer, it got better for a bit but like i said past few months have been shocking, imagine having a period that lasts that long, and how frustrating it is. not just for me, but the man to, he hates seeing me upset cos of something like that, in all fairness he's a star with it though

I used to get incredibly weepy for about a week before I was due when I was on the pill. I changed over to 'the jag' for a few reasons & I'm great now. No crying hysterically at stupid tv programmes for me anymore!

Always weirds me out how different folk react to different methods of contraception. I avoided the pill for years cos I'd heard all those "bad cramps, bad skin, get fat" rumours but when I eventually went on it I found my skin cleared up majorly and all my monthly cramps / bad moods vanished.

I did eat THE WORLD though, but I lost the weight once I'd figured it was just sending my appetite into overdrive.

i dunno what mines are down to but recently iv been gettign upset really easily. i went with my mate rach to pick up her new cat from the cat and dog home in bothwell and while she was doing paperwork i went to the kitty kennels and i was actually crying hysterically withing minutes. i think it was a one eyed cat that done it. thast my excuse and im sticking to it. i have no idea why i spoke to them tho. i fear now after typing this it isnt moodswings or anything similar instead that im just crazy.

It sounds really fucking stupid but the full moon can make you really weepy.

Even naysayers reluctantly agree they've experienced it. Something scientific about the concentration of negative atoms in the air... or something...
