I have never known the pill to make you catty as you say, I have used it for years with no problems , I think some people can blame there moods on it because it is an easy explanation. But it may affect people differently so try it and see if it works for you

If anything I think it would level out moods and make you less catty.

I smell a rat...

Hahahah nooooo! I never plan on using birth control... maybe when I'm married and don't feel like having any more kids but.

Yea... I mean the girl isn't a natural born sweetheart to begin with, that's why it seemed odd she blamed birthcotnrol..



Hahahah a rat?

It's strange a lot of people complain about the contraceptive pill but I'd have to say it's one of the best medications I've taken. It pretty much eliminated my migraines and it has made my periods lighter/less painful!

I can't wait until the new one which only lets you have one period a year is fully licenced.

It's a saying means you think someone is lying. In sweden they have a similar idiom 'a dog is buried here'
I love idioms they can be so weird but seem so normal...

Ohhh hahah thanks for clearing that one up ^.^

I like getting my period though hahaha. I feel relieved. Just all the pressure in my tummmy goes away.

When I first went on the birth control linessa I was unusually irritable really simple things drove me nuts. I have never had PMS and am generally a very calm person. I found out it was because of the amount on progesterone in this particular brand. I was switched to a different kind and haven't had a problem since. (I also had nausea and cramping with the linessa it wasn't fun). I was also told it isn't all that uncommon for people like me who are normally fairly level emotionally and don't tend towards one end of the spectrum to have this kind of reaction as the body is introduced to more hormones which can have an impact on mood.

So I would't go saying it is completely impossible. I would recommend she talk to her doctor about switching to a different pill it is a trial and error process to find one that works best since everyone react differently.

Side note- my friends didn't just suddenly notice me getting nasty I noticed it myself and did not like it. I always believed PMS was an excuse for girls to be mean but I quickly discovered when you have hormones messing with your moods it is incredibly difficult to moderate it yourself.
