writes:Hi,This is more of a health question was wondering if anyone else had the same symptons or had expierienced them.Basically i take the contraceptive pill, the one were you take it for 21 days and then take a gap for 7 days and have your period. I've been on the pill for about 5 years now. Just recently i've been noticing that the day i am due to take my new pack of pills or the day after i get very emotional and depressed. I get quite paranoid as well and often take it out on my boyfriend e.g if he goes out on these days i get very paranoid that he will cheat or he doesnt want to be with me. We do not have trust issues in our relationships and he agrees that i am completley out of character on these days and that i would never normally be so emotional or put doubt on our relationship. I feel like i am going crazy! It's getting to the point where its starting to affect our relationship because he's getting tired of dealing with it every month. I am wondering if it is connected to my pill? Are my hormones plummiting making me feel depressed and then the pill balances me back out? I hope someone else is having the same thing! I feel like a crazy lady!ThanksCat

Talk to your doctor about skipping the sugar pills and carrying on immediately to the next pack for every 3 packs. You won't have a period for 2 or 3 months and your hormones will remain stable. Soldiers in war zones do this for as much as 6 months or more. But talk to your daughter or nurse first and see if its ok.
