Peri-menopause And Low Dose Birth Control Pills Posted: 01-09-05 18:26pm


I have been on depo-provera for 13 years and loved every minute of it. The shot not only stopped my periods but the horrible pms I used to get with that. I only gained about 15 pounds, but am very active and controlled the weight gain with excercise. For the past year, I have been having peri-menopause symptoms: headaches, tired, forgetfulness, depression, at age 42. My doctor and I thought that going on a low dose birth control pill (orth tri cyclen lo) would help. I tried them for a month and definately felt more of a sense of well being and happiness. I felt it was worth it for the quality of life and not have to be depressed going through menopause for the next few years. Then we decided to try seasonale to avoid the period thing. I have been on those for a week and am miserable. I am so nauseus, moody and have terrible headaches. I want to try the ortho tri cyc lo again. Anyone have any experience with peri-menopause and taking this bcp?
