Birth Control Pills2

I was on BCPs for most of my adult life - from about 20-21 until I was 36, so for about 15-16 years of my life. The way things have turned out - maybe I didn't need them, afterall - who knows. Anyway, I never had any issues/problems with them all those years. Now after being off them for two years and going back on to sync up with my donor - they are doing a number on me. I feel like I'm starving all the time, I'm overly tired and have a dull headache. Not to mention the stomach issues I've been having since I started back on them - not fun! Makes it hard to get on track with my hard-core exercise and diet plan that I thought I would undertake until transfer day! Maybe I'll start tomorrow...

I feel your pain. I have never done well on bps but did especially bad on them when I was taking them to sync up with my donor. My worst side effect was emotional though. I am not going to discourage you from your hard-core exercise and diet plan because that is EXACTLY what I did but don't be surprised if you gain about 10 pounds of fluid before you ever even get pg. I was royally pissed but found out it's pretty common. Sounds like we are a lot alike. You look great by the way and don't need a hard-core diet and exercise plan but I never listened when people told me that so I don't expect you to either:o>

The hardest part for me was BCP. It made everything else feel like a cake-walk. It wont be forever. Just get through each day one at a time. Soon you'll be off of them. Feel free to rant and rave. That's why we are here.

Hey, I hated the bcps too - even when I was doing them in real life! Are these a different brand than what you used before? Hopefully you will sync up soon.
