Re: Just looking for someone to talk to with the same problems...From: Mandy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri Oct 29 15:16:11 2004
Rosa, Thank you so much for your support. I had a horrible time with the Yasmin and I am just now starting to feel "normal" again. I have been off of it almost a week and my body is starting to feel like it did before I started taking it. I am actually hungry today, which makes my day!!!!! The reason I initially gave up law school is because I wanted to have a family more than anything and I decided that I couldn't do both. I wanted to be a "stay at home" mom when the time came. I never once thought that it might come down to me never being able to have children. With my current health, I couldn't even get through undergraduate, so right now, law school is out of the question, but I hope some day... I just hope that this new pill they are putting me on, Ovcon, will help. I can live with some pain. I've been living in constant pain for 10 years between my back and my periods, so I can take a small amount. I just want some of my life back. I want to enjoy life without fearing going places because I know that at some point, I'm going to get a pain somewhere. This forum is great because in the last few days, I have met so many wonderful, wonderful women! Right now, I need this and all of you. It is so soothing to talk to people that have felt the same pain, gone through the same fears, and can tell me what to expect because it is always better that way!!! Love,
