NWR. Feeling More Attached/BC Issues

So, it's not that I don't love FI on a normal day to day basis, or want to be around him. But lately I have been feeling an excessive need to be around him all the time. I miss him so much more than I normally feel. ( I always miss him-but it was never like-this excessive.)Dunno if maybe it's the BC I am on, as it has been making my hormones go crazy, or what. I just feel like my emotions are wackier lately. 

I spoke with my doc a few days ago and I am going to try a new BC that will hopefully not pump so much hormones as the one I am on now. So maybe that will help all these crazy emotions and breast pains(Sorry TMI, I know!) so that I can feel better and get back to a more normal stance.

Any one else have these issues with their meds, or am I just koo-koo-crazy?  (It's probably the second one ;D )

    I've been on the same BC for like 10 years, so if it's affected my hormones I wouldn't even notice it by now.

    I do certainly go through insecure times where I NEED Fi around me though, so I can relate to that (even if it's unrelated to BC). It's frustrating, because I just want to tell my emotion "STOP IT!", but I can't. :(

    Could be hormones.

    I'm pregnant and have been unnaturally attached to FI since becoming so. Not sure if it's due to an evolutionary urge to nest and be near the hunter/gatherer or whether it's due to hormones, but if it IS the latter, maybe you're experiencing a lesser form of that?

    I went on a different BC and realized that I was more emotional than normal along with a couple other things.  I switched to a lower dose and I've gone back to normal! Crazy how a little pill can do things like that.

    @jenny I have been on BC several years. The one I am on now is the third type I have tried, and it's making my body hurt, and I asked the doctor if that was normal (I worry so much about B. Cancer so I was freaking out making sure that wasn't it) and she said the BC I am on could be giving too much hormones to my body, so she prescribed me another. I unfortunately can't start that until after the end of the month. As for FI, I know it had got to have something related.

     @jenniferurs That would make a lot of sense. I know hormones cause cause the body and mind to feel that way, I just haven't had a lot of that mushy/attached feeling lately with everything being so busy, that I was a little not really surprised, but I just haven't felt so needy/sappy in a bit.. but I don't mind the feeling really. Just found it a little strange. lol

    I was also feeling really tired on the last BC I was on. My mom even would comment how I would say I was tired everyday. Now that I switched, she also noticed that I never say that anymore! I feel like I have so much more energy

    It could be your BC. Everything was great the first few months I was on the Nuvaring, and then by 6 months in I was yelling at FI if he gave me a hug. So yeah. It can mess with your emotions.

    I was on BC for years with no issues.  Then I started getting headaches.  I had to switch to a low dose pill because of the risk of stroke.  The first one they put me on was the low dose version of the one I had been taking.  It made me crazy.  Like want to crash my car into a brick wall crazy because of all the emotional pain it was causing me. The next one screwed with my cycle, third time was the charm and I stayed on it till I got married.

    I've been on the same BC for a couple years now and my emotions consistently go crazy in the week before my period - but in the opposite direction. The smallest irritations make me want to scream and I just want to be alone. Compared to the discomfort of my period before I started taking BC, I don't mind feeling a little stabby for a day or two each month.

    Yeah, I have been having similar feelings lately. Doc got me a new one that I can start next month and hopefully I will not have these pains, and that my cycle won't be crazy like it usually is.

    I went from a high dose to a low dose, specifically LoLoestrin Fe. The high dose (Necon 1/35) made me really mood swingy and FI and I actually broke up. I then decided to get on a different BC and we did get back together and I feel pretty darn good! Plus my periods are much shorter and lighter on this one. Just wanted to namedrop BC so if anyone has had similar experiences.

    Hmm I have yet to hear about that one. Im on microgestin right now and about to be on another. I hear this BC can cause the side effects I am happy. Which is a good thing for me because I was worried something was wrong with me.

    I actually got an IUD because of how BC affected me. BC would do what I wanted it to do (besides baby prevention!) for the first 6-9 months, then after that time, my PMS would come back with a vengeance. So far, the IUD has been really great! I don't feel like my mood was swinging so much. Although I did try to stay on my BC bills until the end of the month when I first got my IUD. That made me REALLY crazy. I'm pretty sure my FI wanted to keep me locked in our second bedroom during those few days...
