Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | birth control and hormones questions

Hello all! I have a situation I thought I would post and hope that maybe someone could offer me some advice. In the past, I was on the pill and it made me a raving beast!! I wanted to yell at people that usually never made me mad. I was out of control and decided to just use condoms the rest of my life. Also to add and help you understand, I have struggled with depression. This depression has recently lifted though. As it lifted, I noticed that I was having horrible PMS. Out of control feelings for 2 weeks before my period. EEK! I was miserable and just knew that God must hate women!! LOL! So I did some research and started taking estroven (which is a vitamin for PMS that has soy isoflavones) at night and estroven PMS a few days before my period. I have been doing great!!! PMS is gone! Never thought I would be able to say that but it is so true! Now here is the kicker... I have been taking estroven for about 3 months now. Also I have noticed that I seem to be developing a mustache!!! I am horrified!! I went and bought some nair for your face and it removed the peach fuzz that I had (which was blonde), but you can see a shadow and it looks like a mustache. I don't know if the soy in the estroven did this or what? I decided to not take it anymore though!! I am going to try some bleach and hope this nightmare goes away ASAP!! Anyway, they say that the pill is used to treat PMS too. I think I may be willing to try it once more since they have all these new kinds on the market. A friend told me Yasmin works well for her and she used to couldn't take the pill either due to depression. Does anyone have any suggestions about any of these issues I have mentioned. I am traumatized since how I am seeing someone new!! EEK!
