I have been on Birth Control pills for years, too. I know the exact day and time I will start, so it is very convenient. The pills prevent me from getting cramps. Like someone else said, it is just more of an inconvenience than anything. The only thing that really bothers me is that my boobs get real sore about a week before I start. They hurt really bad and get really swollen. Oh well, hubby likes it when they are swollen
I think I am going to start taking my birth control pills for several months straight, skipping the "period week" of pills, and just have my period every other month. Does anyone else do this?
