Birth Control Pills

[PacificBlue]

Oh wise women of Lit... I have a few questions:

1. How long did you have to take the pill before your body got with the program and realized that when you take the little "blanks" it was supposed to do something?

2. I thought taking the pill was supposed to quiet down your hormones? Yes? No?

3. Anybody else taking the new Yasmine pill...it came out in August and is supposed to more closely resemble the hormones your body naturally makes. Do you like it? Notice anything weird?

and... *taking deep breath*

4. Do you notice that it takes longer to get *gulp* "wet" when your on the pill?

That's all...

1. It takes a few months for your body to adjust. Every woman is different, however, so don't be upset if you don't adjust right away.

2. I've never heard that it's supposed to quiet your hormones. It regulates your hormones so that your period is more regular and less painful. It can actually fuck with your moods until your body gets used to it. I am no less horny when I'm on the pill (thank god!)


3. Never heard of it- sorry...

4. YES!!! and I'm glad I'm not the only one! Someone on this board actually made fun of me b/c of that, but hey, that's what Astroglide is for.

Just a marsupials point of view......but the cure for number 4 would be a good tongue job for an hour or so!

How do you slap someone naked? Is that like being slapped silly? I had more of mind to roll around on the floor for awhile...loud moaning mandatory of course.

1. My body took around 4 months to realize what was going on ... the pills did mess me up the first couple up months but now all falls into place when I take those " blanks ".

2. The pill is suppose to some what calm those hormones but I think that I seem to experience more things now since taking the pill. My hormones seem to go on a rampage at times. Go figure.

4. No, I don't have that problem , I am sure it effects all women in different ways.

1. How long did you have to take the pill before your body got with the program and realized that when you take the little "blanks" it was supposed to do something?

i've allllllwaaaaaayyyyyssss been naturally very very irregular. as soon as i got on the pill i would get my period when i would start the blanks and i was thrilled! no more guessing!

2. I thought taking the pill was supposed to quiet down your hormones? Yes? No?

i dont know if they quiet down after long term use, i've only been using them for 5 months...but i noticed i was really moody and especially weepy, but my doctor told me to expect that.


3. Anybody else taking the new Yasmine pill...it came out in August and is supposed to more closely resemble the hormones your body naturally makes. Do you like it? Notice anything weird?

never even heard about it. i feel so left out! i just take orthotricyclin and even got a free little designer case so it isnt so obvious.

4. Do you notice that it takes longer to get *gulp* "wet" when your on the pill?

geez! is THAT why? i thought i was just really stressed out.

-Mine was there within the first 2 months.

2. I thought taking the pill was supposed to quiet down your hormones? Yes? No?
-Since I've been taking them, my PMS has dropped drastically. I don't feel the urge to strangle anyone who fucks with me during my really crabby time right before my period. My cramps are also a lot less than what they used to be.

3. Anybody else taking the new Yasmine pill...it came out in August and is supposed to more closely resemble the hormones your body naturally makes. Do you like it? Notice anything weird?
Never heard of it, sorry.

4. Do you notice that it takes longer to get *gulp* "wet" when your on the pill?
-That doesn't affect me either. I've never really had a problem with it anyhow.

The very first month was normal for me. But I was fairly regular before I started the pill, too.

2. I thought taking the pill was supposed to quiet down your hormones? Yes? No?

Evens them out, not necessarily "quiets" them. It depends on the kind of bcp you're taking. My low dose have the same level of estrogen for 3 weeks and then the "off" week has none. Some of the stronger kinds have different pills each of the 4 weeks and more closely match your normal hormone levels.

Sorry, I've never heard of it either.

4. Do you notice that it takes longer to get *gulp* "wet" when your on the pill?

The pill actually changes your normal secretions. (Guys don't read this part if you really don't want to know...)
When I wasn't on the pill, I could tell by the normal vaginal mucus secretions just where I was in my cycle. Know what I mean? That variation is gone with use of the pill. And the secretions are much less in general. I don't know that I'd say I notice a change in the time it takes to get "wet" though.
