[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Night Thread : I think she treats him like a little friend. Your toddler shouldn't be your best buddy. This is all coming out wrong and sounds bad, but your toddler should be your toddler. I have a feeling Bentley will grow up too fast because Maci is treating him more like a friend than her child. But, I could be wrong. Maci in general is the least crazy of them all, and she's pretty level headed.

[QUOTE]Veggie, I agree with Angel that looking into some type of counseling to help you deal with your feelings and allow you to get the medical attention you need. Overall, I like Maci as a mother. I hate that Bentley is almost 3 and uses a pacifier, talks to him in baby talk and that she ASKS him, "Bentley, should I go back to school" or, "Bentley, you want to go to Preschool, right?" He's a toddler. You don't ask, you tell. "Bentley, I'm giong back to school, and since I'm going to school, you're going to go to preschool!" Make it exciting, and he'll be on board.

I have thought about counseling and I agree I need to tell H. It just never seems like the right time like, "Oh hey btw!"

Angel- I think that's what I'm going to do. Just thinking about going to these doctors makes me terrified.

wrigleyville · July 2012

BCPs make me absolutely batshit emotional, but the clear skin and super light periods with zero cramps was sooooooooooo worth it. I might see about getting on a lower dose since I'm sure the high-estrogen brand I was on wasn't helping. I was never crazy on other lower-dosage brands.

ETA: Oops, that was in reply to Harry, not just some random comment.

Bentley is actually a good bit older than the rest. He was the first born of the bunch.

I just hate toddlers with pacifiers. If you notice, his teeth are all messed up from the pacifier.

<div>I was on something a couple of years ago that made me one insane bitches. I am on tri-sprintec now and I love it. LOVE.

<div>I have anxiety in general, so I was worried the BCP would make it worse, but it's helped me sooo much. I get worse cramps, though. I feel like I have all the opposite side effects of what the label listed, haha. </div>

wrigleyville · July 2012

I would just bring it up like:

"Ow, my stupid teeth are bothering me again. I really need to find a doctor, but I have some concerns."

"Like?"

"Well, I have some issues with doctors. Do you have a second? We really need to talk about this."

pokepoke27 · July 2012

I've been on one type of BCP on and off for hte past few years. I didn't mean to bounce around on them, it just always ended up happening.

For some reason, this last time I started them it really sucked. I got SO emotional - then I had a two week period. That's when I stopped them. I'll look into something else after I move.

<div>WEIRD!</div><div>One thing that is good with age (at least for me) is cramps get better, especially after you have a kid or two. So it's some consolation when dealing with all the crummy shiiit aging does to one's body. I sure don't miss BCPs and all that. </div>

angelstar975 · July 2012

BCPs were awesome with the light, short periods and the clear skin and knowing exactly when my period was... but the low sex drive was not worth it.

So I went on accutane for my skin and then went off the pill once I was finished with that. My periods didn't become any longer once I was off the pill, although they aren't nearly as light. And I can deal with not knowing exactly when my period is coming. My cycles aren't exactly irregular, but it's not to the day every month either.

ETA - The cramps do suck though. I take Vicodin when they're really, really awful and it knocks them out. Unfortunately, I don't have an unlimited supply of that, so I'll eventually run out.

</div><div>Maybe I'm biased on the paci thing - I had one until I was 2 and a half and never needed braces. I also don't really look into these things too much, considering I'm not having a kid anytime soon, so take that with a grain of salt, haha. </div>

JessAndTrav · July 2012

I took BCP when I was 17 to regulate my period (I promise that was why, I wasn't a hoar), and my periods were amazingly short and light and the cramps disappeared, but I gained a zillion pounds overnight.

Then we realized that I shouldn't take the BCP because I have a hormone imbalance, and I dropped the weight almost as fast as I dropped the pill

sarabear23 · July 2012

I freaking LOVE my bc pills. I haven't been on the pill in years, and I have PCOS. The pills have helped so much, even though I thought I was going to bleed to death the first 2 months I was on them. Sorry for the TMI!

Hooters bride has some birth control implant in her arm and it's supposed to give you 0 periods a year....but she's had a pretty heavy period for like 2 months, she says. Uh, probably time to see the doctor, lady.

When I went <em>on</em> the pill, it was because I had my period the ENTIRE summer after my junior year. I would have a 2-3 day break every now and then, and it was right back to it, and it was heavy. I wanted to kill myself.
