Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Do birth control pills contain the same hormones produced by pregnancy? It is interesting that my daughter is quite normal while pregnant and seems the most stable, but after the pregnancy has suffered from post partunm depression which I believe is also hormonally based. ANd the whole mood swings of women in general when it is " that time of the month " . Is there any research that BPD is connected to hormone levels? That vitamin B12 is also used in women who have emotional swings during the menstraul cycle. It helps them to control the moodiness. I know, as I was one of them who suffered greatly with depression around my cycle. After taking the B12 for a few weeks it was like night and day.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 One more thought on hormones. I used to attend a rape crisis support group. One of the women had been given high dose morning after hormones to be sure she did not get pregnant from the rape. Her hormones were way out of whack for over a year after this. She gained a lot of weight and had abnormal periods. Of course, she was traumatized by the rape, but the hormone disruption was so confusing and difficult. - just another example of how the mental and physical mix. PJ I found the comment about birth control very informative. I took birth control in about 1974 for three months and became highly suicidal and out of control. The doses were higher then so my doctor just said forget it and I used other methods. MY dgter can not take birht control, everytime she tries she goes crazy, her body reacts and ehr emotions go out of control. Then I was put on HRT about 10 yrs ago and same reaction so perhasp it is important to put the story together. I know I wanted her on birht control so she wouldn't have kids and put us in the situation we are in now. After she ahd my grand she did get ehr tubes ties and I was very releived as I can't imagine, Jean I can only imagine how ahrd it si for you with your dgter constantly pregnant and a heart condidtion. I beielve that drug combos can be lethal and thank God that Kristy's dr saw that and for all of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I always thnk it is a good idea ot get off BC pills! They are hard on your body when you take them all the time. Low estrogen is not a normal state for a healthy woman. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 No but you ay need to have hormone levels checked once off it for a couple months ot see if they are OK. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I read your post and thought, this sounds just like me! I went off BCPs about a year ago. My estrogen, progesterone and DHEA levels were all low, but I started supplementing with bioidentical estriol (the " good " estrogen), progesterone cream and sublingual DHEA. I feel so much better being off the pill! Getting your hormones back to normal takes A LOT of work though. I am still experiencing the hair loss that began when I started taking the BCPs...
