  • You're probably going to lol at me, but unless you need it in order to have regular periods then it's best to just come off everything for a while until your body resets. While you're trying to lose weight, logic of MFP, you are actually going through changes anyway, both hormonal & psychological. If you're just using it for sex, stop having sex, it's obviously not helping your moods (only partly joking bc women release "happy hormones" during orgasm). Vaya con Dios

    Sorry but this really is not good advice it might work for you but obviously she is on birth control for a reason, I originally used Implanon which is the bar that goes in your arm for birth control and for help with bad time of the months, I had in twice and found it fantastic the first time and not so much the second time but I was in my 30's the second time and now I have the Mirena Coil which is brilliant, no periods and if I do get one its for 2 days and is painless and best of of its 99% safe and in for 3 or 5 years which you can take out at anytime. You are meant to have had kids to get this in or be over 35 but go speak to your doctor again if you are young I would suggest Implanon.

    The arm implant, nexaplanon, is pretty cool. I've had mine in for about a year and I kind of love it.

    I also have the arm plant, implanon (in Australia) and it's been great. I've been on it for over a year. The only issue is that I've been having reprisals of acne since it's a different hormone.. but I was extremely prone to acne to begin with.

    Like others have said, its a matter or finding the right combination of chemicals for your body.
