When Jenny has a freak-out
Wednesday, June 6th, 2007 | 26 Comments 
The past month my mood has been so phenomenal. Obviously my hormones were finally under control (read below for that.) But for the past 4 days things have gone sour. Maybe it’s the medicine [I’m on the “sugar pills” now.] Or maybe it’s work, or just life pissing on me little by little. But I feel so overwhelmed. I had a total freak out yesterday. My usual tactics for calming down didn’t help.. so I did my #1 cure for freak-outs… I changed my hair. I chopped off 2 inches worth of my side-swept bangs in order to have full, straight on bangs. And it made me VERY happy, and VERY calm.

Rant about birth control, proceed with caution >>
Background…
When I was 18 I went on the pill to control my cycle. I was having hellish periods every 2 weeks for 10 - 12 days at a time. I was on the pill till I moved here. I went off for a variety of reasons. Things were fine till about 8 months ago. I started getting my period every 2 weeks again only now it lasted 14 hellish, painful days. So, last month I found a gynecologist I liked and proceeded to find a new birth control that fit my needs. By the way, she cringed when I told her about my every 2 weeks for 2 weeks cycle.
So she prescribed me Loestrin 24 Fe. Been on that for the past 4 weeks. Also, been on my period nonstop for the past 4 weeks. So she’s now having me try Femcon Fe. It’s pretty new, therefore, FUCKIN’ EXPENSIVE. AND my insurance is being all shitty about paying for multiple packs at 1 time so if this pill works I gotta call my doctor up & get her to re-write the prescription in a certain way so that my STUPID ASS insurance covers ALL my packs of pills!!! UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH, and the pharmacy was shit today and I didn’t know about this and I’ve been on my period for 4 weeks straight and BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! What’s worse is that she said if Femcon Fe causes me to be on my cycle still too that I should at least try it for 2 - 3 months before switching again O_______O;;;; UM FUCK NO WE’LL CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN WE GET THERE, MMMK!?

um the birth control pill thingy scared me a bit. i’m really lucky cause im reallllly normal, like 100%, like the book says, i hope you feel better and find a good pill tht will help and ur hair looks really great
sometimes changing something about yourself will make you reallly happy ^^ i think the haircut did that
Hey! Omg that sucks! i had mine for 21 days once cause of the patch… cant imagine having that all the time.
goodluck tho!
My cycles are okay; pretty ‘normal.’ I learnt about control pills a few weeks ago, and yeh they can be hell. I hope it all works out Jen.
I love your new spontaneous hairstyle! ^____^ It’s always good to change something when you’re feeling down. I think it makes you feel in ‘control’ of something :]
Cute hair!! ^__________^
Ah, that really sucks about how you’ve been feeling lately and what you’ve been going through. Hopefully this new presc will be the one.
I’m so glad I’m very irregular so I only go through it twice/three times a year.
Crossin’ my fingers for ya!!~
I used to have bangs!! They’re nice and I might want them again. =) Thats a very cute haircut!
As for the birth control thing… I was almost going to be on it since my periods are extremely painful every month and nothing helps, but my mom said I was okay. =/
The bangs are cute! It makes you look very young :3
*hopes it will make it less poo for you*
I’ll keep scanning the soup for you ;__; and funny cat photos i find
hey! ive come to read your blog many time since its just so adorable!! but this is the first time i\’m leaving a comment
hey! ive come to read your blog many time since its just so adorable!! but this is the first time i’m leaving a comment -_- i’ve always wanted to leave a comment but felt ashame since i didnt have a personal blog other than myspace. but i finally have one ^^; haha..anyways…
your bangs are super cute! i would never trust myself with the scissors. & about that whole birth control ordeal. erghhh, that really sucks. im glad that im very irregular. i hope you find a better pill!
Ah, sounds familiar. In my first three months on the pill, I had my period for five weeks. What a pain in the asssss! But in my experience, if you wait the three months it does get regular….
And yeah, I’m suddenly having the urge to get something pierced, because I changed my hair pretty recently I guess. Sometimes changing appearance really does help…
LOVE your bangs!!! it’s perfect for you!!
There is a type of birth control out called Seasonale/Seasonique (generic is Quasense) and you only get your period once every three months. And I think Quasense makes it so that you only have one period a year…but I’m not too sure. Better google or talk to your doctor! Yeah, these things really suck ~.~
i can’t relate.
lmao.
I can’t relate yet, but soon…my friend has been taking the birth control shot for ten months and hasn’t had her period since! I’m thinking about it, haha.
And you look really asian in those photos! O.O I’m jealous! So…Japanese
Oh god. Oh god. I can’t imagine being on the rag for 14 days. I think my weirdest one was I had it for like 7 days. It was gone for 3 days and then came back for another 7 days.
Why are our bodies so weird?
I used to be on the pill and that pretty much took care of my cramps bc even though I’m not on it anymore, I don’t get cramps really bad like I used to (I’d miss school for 2 days and be on rx pain killers cause the pain was so bad). Nowadays a leg goes numb, I put something hot on my uterus area (relaxes it SO much, srsly), and take deep breaths.
I hope you get this all figured out soon. The pill sucks but sometimes it’s a must, yanno? But being on the rag for that long SUCKS. :(
ps: your hair looks SO cute. AND there’s a happy hour in DC on the 15th if you’re interested….. ;]
Oh my the pill can really effect your hormones > mood :( My sister is on it for quite some time now and to be honest I think she should definitely quit. I decided to quit the pill at the start of this year, just after Klaas went to Madrid. And it feels really great, I don’t have serious grumpy times anymore nor do I feel blue for unknown reasons
But before I started the pill I always had very constant cycles - and they have returned within a month after I stopped. So when you do use the pill - like you - to controll your cycles *ugh* I can’t say to you - QUIT :( I really hope you can find a pill that suits you - I so think it’s toxic stuff that really effects your hormones and mood *sigh* I hope it will get sorted out soon - having your period for such a long time is *ugh* ~~~~ Take care * goodluck !!!!!!!
WOW!!!~ I love your hair ^______^ it looks so good on you!~ You look younger I think…suits you very much!!!~
I have no idea about birthcontroll pills…ughhh they sound horrible ;___;
Your haircut is hot!! The bangs are really cute.
Wow, I would hate being on my period for 4 weeks. ;_; Hopefully the new pill works better. I used to use the patch, but it left big red patch-shaped marks on my skin :(
Aghh!! I can’t imagine having my period non-stop!! Hopefully the new pill works!!
Mine is going weird too… I’m not on the pill or anything but for some reason every month it comes a day earlier… O_o Dunno why…
Cute hair btw!!!
That sounds awful, I could not imagine having my period that long. Hopefully your pills will work. Maybe you should try Ortho Tri-Cyclin Lo. There has never been any problems for me, my period is only 3 days with it. On a happier note, your haircut looks very cute.
Better later than never, but I ABSOLUTELY love your hair.. so cute!
awww your new hair looks great! Very cute and I agree it’s calming. You look calm with that summery style^^
wahhh jennn kawaiii~~~ ^^
pretty pretty
i love the dolly bangs
im thinking about that too.. um… chopping my sideswept bangs to those dolly like yours ^^
but ow.. proly wont suit me tho… so yea im still thinkin
um.. well i have no idea at all about birth control pills but.. sorry to hear that.. T_T stupid insurance and.. egh.. getting full 4 weeks period must be.. ‘not fun’ T_T
Yikes! I feel for ya! Not meaning to pry or anything, but, maybe you should see about endometriosis? For me, I started taking the pill and was OK for almost 2 years. I switched to Depo and got off it after 3 months because it messed me all to hell and back. I tried the patch and even tried going back onto the old pill I was one, etc, etc- it seems like every BC method messes me up like crazy and when I’m not on BC, I’m just stuck with longer than “normal” periods and really bad cramps(certainly better than bleeding for months at a time). It’s crazy for me, to say the least. After years of messing around with my hormones, turns out I have endometriosis and that’s one of, if not the #1, culprit to causing the probs. So, from one chika to another- something to think about. P.S. Being on your cycle that many times for that long each time can really mess with you. I take iron supplements now ’cause I’m borderline anemic :(.
Ohhh *0*

femcon fe sucks! i was on it and it was too expensive. now im on trisprintec and its so much better. my periods are normal, my face is clear and im not moody like i used to be.
