Question About 6 years ago I started taking the pill, I started for several reasons but one of the main ones was anxiety and such due to PMS, sure enough the pills helped.
In Oct. (3 months ago) I got a "wild hair" and decided I was tired of taking the pills everyday, worrying about taking them etc. I thought the symptoms I had years ago were probably isolated and wouldn't return, well to my horror they have!
I started back up on my pills today, I had spotting last week and am cramping again. I should have taken them Sunday ideally I understand but didn't think of it then and read the main reason for "Sunday start" is pregnancy protection and cycle schedule, I don't care about either of those, I just want my hormones back to normal!
My question is two, since I should have started on Sunday can I just take two today, two tomorrow, then continue on with 1 to get the hormones boosted in my system?
When can I expect to see results from taking the pills? ( I don't remember how long it took me to feel better 6 years ago.) I hope soon, I am a basketcase!!
Thanks.
AnswerHi Marie,
Thanks for your question. I'm not a medical professional so please check with your physician on this. I don't know if you will get this in time but no, it's not a good idea to double up on the pills. They are supposed to be taken 1 a day. It is not good to not take them correctly and can cause problems that way. What are the results you are looking for? I don't recommend the birth control pill or any hormonal methods. I only recommend non-hormonal methods, such as condoms, Natural Family Planning and of course, abstinence. Do you know the side effects of the pill? Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo and answer these questions so I can further advise you.
Thanks.
Diane Cheryl
