Thank you Rachel. I just got home from my doctor's and he confirmed
that continuous doesn't mean more side effects, just no relief from the
side effects. I can't believe I am about to say this, but I can't wait
for a period! My boyfriend is about to lose his mind if I cry one more
time for no reason. He has no clue what to do. Poor guy. Thanks for
your help and I would really appreciate that website if you get a
chance.
