after the birth of my kid i thought, screw this happening again (she was planned, rest assured), and went back on the pill. it had been years since i'd been on it and it really didn't take long for the ugly anger monster that lives within to rear her face again.
i asked my dr for recs and while this product never came up (a lot of stupid things did), i suggested it to her as i had also asked in the forum what people were taking to control themselves. she didn't say not to, but preferred i do other things. so i said, okay but no thanks, that's not going to fix my issue, and ordered a box to try the same day.
they arrived and i began taking them religiously. the true test was the week before the bloody baron comes to visit, and i wasn't able to gauge how i was doing until 2 or 3 cycles in. well!!!!!!!
i have gone from wanting to rip my partners face of 100% of the time, to only 20-30% of the time. he used to just look at me, he would just BREATHE and i'd rip his head off in anger. it was seriously a problem and now... nothing.
it has also toned my period down immensely, though after child birth it's actually been toned down anyway, so this pill has just made it even more manageable.
now this may be TMI but it has also increased my libido. i've gone from not needing or ever wanting "it", to actively wanting it. and to be quite honest, it's made the whole experience so much more enjoyable as well, because i'm actually into it rather than just a alright get it over with type thing.
this pill is just... fantastic. a life saver. i'm so glad i took the plunge and sought "help" from the gals in the forum. they might not have saved my life but they have certainly saved my sanity, and that's more than enough!
Since having a jadelle contraceptive rods implanted,I suffered from constant break through bleeding, acne and mood swings, causing me to snap at my partner and 2 year old. My doctor recommended I start using the pill along side the implant (instead of having it removed)to calm down my side affects, but I didn’t like the idea of adding more hormones. A work colleague recommended Nuwoman 30 plus, and after 2 weeks of taking the pills my mood improved and my skin even looked better. At 3 weeks the daily bleeding stopped, and although I still get occasional break through bleeding it is far more manageable than before. Definitely worth a try if you’re having the same issues on jadelle or other types of contraception.
