For Ladies using the Pill...?

Your moods are likely controlled by the fluctuation of your hormones...the pill never made me "moody" that I noticed nor has the Depo injection....not saying that I'm not ever moody, but nothing that I attribute specifically to my birth control.

One way to determine if the pill is affecting how you feel about your dude, is to switch to a non-hormonal form of birth control for a while and see if anything changes.

I have never read anything about the pill altering your moods but it makes sense considering the release of hormones are different through out the month. Personally, I find that the pill makes me absolutely schizo. One minute I am crying, the next I am laughing hysterically. It is like mood swings but 10 times worse. So, I stopped taking it and it helped level out my moods.

Anytime you inject hormones into you system it is going to effect your mood!

If you are refering to the second week of the pill being the time you are most in "love" and then maybe the third or fourth week being the "ehhh" time than that's obvious it's the hormones.

If this is the 1st time that you have been exp. this after 6 yrs. then I can assure you that its not the pill. Some women just need a break from their man at times. You know 6 yrs is a long time to be with a person esp. if you aren't married. At any cost, I wouldn't recommend getting off the pill if you are sexually active because of pregnancy. Hope this was helpful.

Yeah, the pill affects your hormones, which in turn affect your mood. Some pills make me really moody and when i try coming off it, i get depressed - a bit like post natal depression, i guess, due to the drop in estrogen. In the pill free week, you will feel a bit down and then perk up when you start your next pack.

I also had major mood swings on the pill. Different pills gave me different kinds of mood swings. Once I went off of them I returned to normal. Consider switching to a different pill or look into alternative methods of birth control- IUD, Diaphrams, etc.

i had the same problem... i told my doctor b/c my mood swings were much worse than what you have described...and he switched my pill and so far ive been back to the way i was before i started taking anything....danielle!

you know...I noticed that too with my husband and me, and my pills...on the 1st 2 wks of pills, I am madly in love with him, and the last are hell!!! Good luck, try and switch to a lower hormone pill.

The pill doesn't really alter my mood at all. It might make me hornier though.

I don't believe any hormons should change the way you feel about him. sounds like you need to be questioning something else. nothing I take can ever change the love i feel for my fiance even when we argue I dont feel any less love for him.
