It's long overdue but here's the update on the climara and the levlen.
climara wasn't so hot. in fact i got a rash from it, which to put it delicately, was extremely unpleasant. i think this is the first medication i am officially allergic to.
when that was over i started the leven. everything went pretty well until around july 15, 2006 when i started spotting everyday. this continued until sept. 24-ish, 2006. definitely not in my top 5 of pleasurable experiences but all in all, could have been worse.
around the first of august i was on 2 weeks of estrogen to try to balance my cycle out and stop the spotting. the only purpose it served was to help me get totally psycho (this is quite an understatement...so let's leave it @ that!) on the day i stopped taking it.
fortunately i have a patient and forgiving husband who understood that the hormones were whacking out the underlying mood issue i deal with.
i am a lucky wife.
so the spotting stopped late september and that immediately ushered me into the october from hell. more often than not, the entire month, i had a headache/migraine. i tried to function as best i could and not take too many medications or take the same one consequtively for fear of rebound/lack of efficacy. unfortunately i am pretty well convinced i entered a rebound cycle.
so did the levlen help? evidentally, it appears not....so now i entered the tangled web of menstrual cycles and will hold on for dear life as we enter the twilight zone of pain that accompanies the dreaded period....
