connection to birth control pills

[Guest guest]

I have been noticing a lot of people mentioning their symptoms changing

in relation to the pill...I never had pain during intercourse or any

health problems at all until I went on Seasonale, the pill where you

only get your period every 3 months..ever since then, I've had chronic

inflammation of all my mucus membranes, from sinuses to vagina. I went

off them quickly but have never recovered...so frustrating! No one

warns you about side effects like this, although it seems like there's

a lot of anecdotal evidence among groups like this that the pill

affects our pain levels. Now I use Natural Family Planning and it's

alerted me to my irregular cycles, so I'm happy to be off the pill and

learning how to take care of my body naturally, although I miss the

100% protection! Someone was on here asking how the pill works to

suppress ovulation...the hormones basically trick your body into

thinking it's already pregnant, so you don't ovulate because your body

already thinks it's pregnant.
