#bcpill

This month, I accidently skipped two birth control pills and that brought on a period early in the month. No big deal. Today is my first pill-free day this month and it's back!! NO ONE NEEDS TWO OF THESE A MONTH!

I started my period last night (Friday) around 7p. Surprisingly, my cramps were tolerable (with my pain medication) and my bubble guts were pretty low key. This is astonishing. I was expecting my period on Monday and had been feeling teeny cramps all week. Normally, my breasts would be extremely tender for about a whole week before my cycle, but that didn't happen this month. (The wanting-to-eat-everything for a week beforehand still happened.) So, it came last night.

I decided to take my first birth control pill at 11:30p, thinking that would be a good time to take it regularly in case I become nauseous as I did with the previous oral contraceptive I tried.

While also sick with viral sinus crud, I was mildly nauseous and in a little pain due to my period. I woke up around 4:30a and felt quite sick. I cannot definitively determine whether that was caused by the pill or my period.
