Yer confusing me nurse-patti-type-person! :) I'm the Erin that's been on them since February. Even before I was on them at all and suffering rottenly I never got like this more than 4 days in advance. After all the nausea and vomitting i had with that infection... (I've kept everything where it belongs for 4 days straight now, YIPPEE!!!) I thought I was home free until next week but since thursday my breasts have gotten really tender, i'm crampy, I hate human-kind with a passion, and I think i've downed enough water today to irrigate a small farm. I'm not due to have my period til the 18th. Life is unfair when yer female i'm thinking...

Thanks for the reply, Erin McCarty
