I don't know why a lot of girls refer to birth control in code names, like it's something to be ashamed of. Personally, when a chick tells me she's on "BC", I say good for you! Way to prevent something you clearly aren't prepared for!
I get more upset when girls I know who should be on the pill are not. Then I get a little miffed. But, it's their life to make decisions with. I just get sad when an innocent life becomes involved when it definitely could have been avoided.
Anyway, I didn't come here to talk about pregnancy. I'll save that for another day.
Almost 2 months ago, I started taking birth control for the first time. And now I'm finding it ironic that it's advertised as something that prevents pregnancy, yet its side effects might say otherwise. I understand that it doesn't prevent SEX, but it certainly won't help keep a man's dick in his pants.
So far in the couple of months that I've been taking it, I've noticed a few things have changed.
#1. My boobs have gotten bigger. So far, it's only been a small difference (I went from a 36 to a 38B), but they've been sore every day ever since I started taking the pill, and I feel like they're continually expanding to the verge of explosion. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to buy new bras soon because right now my breasts are about bursting out of the bras I have.
#2. My sex drive has increased. And the fact that I'm not sexually active makes this side effect all the more frustrating and irritating. Let me just say that porn is a godsend. And gentlemen, no, that was not an invitation into my pants.
#3. My skin has gotten clearer and looks better in general. I haven't had to put on as much make-up as I used to, and I think this in turn helps my skin even more because there isn't as much foundation clogging my pores.
That's about it so far. There have been other differences, but they've been in my period, and I'm pretty sure no one wants to hear the details about that.
At first, I was actually afraid to take birth control because I kept reading all of these horror stories online about how it completely changed personalities and caused intense physical pain, etc. etc. But I decided half of them were probably already crazy to begin with, and the other half were just the unlucky few who reacted badly to the medication.
Luckily, I haven't gone psycho yet. If I do, I can only hope that my family and friends have the courage to tell me to shut up and stop taking the crazy pills. With my luck, I'd have to go to some sort of birth control rehab.
