Birth control pills in What Is This Thing Called Life?

Well it's been a wile since I've taken the time to wright anything on here. I've been without an internet connection for a wile also. But now I'm back! So tonight's topic, birth control pills. I've been having a hard time making the transition from the IUD to the pills. The IUD got lodged into my cervix wall so that was painful, and had to be removed. Which forced me to make the switch to the pill. Most side affects are supposed to disappear after a moth of eating the pills. Well I'm on my 3rd pack ( three months of taking them), and they have yet to diminish. If anything the side affects have gotten worse. I've gained weight, yet I have a very unpredictable eating pattern. Sometimes I eat everything or nothing. Other times I puke my guts out because I'm constantly nauseated. Don't even get me started on the migraines I've experienced. The worst part though is the horrible pain coursing through my breasts after I take my bra off before bed. I am almost in tears every time the bra comes off. My breasts are already big enough as they are and I'm sure they have enlarged. I am now a cup size bigger. I have no health insurance so birth control pills are all I can afford. I have a steady boyfriend which obviously means birth control is necessary. I want so badly to just quit taking them though. My body hates any sort of medication.

On the positive side of things, I am going to be on a plane back to Michigan on Saturday. To visit my family, and friends I haven't seen them in five months. I am surprising most of them, and I am beyond excited.
