I just remember some other people on the board talking about other ways to stop periods. Did you try the pill so your IBS would be better or for the hormones? My IBS was actually worse on the pill. I was so afraid of getting pregnant at the time that we decided to try the pill. I actually took it when we were first married and did fine. Once I stopped I felt like myself again. We decided not to use any medication type birth control. I just don't trust them. I still had to deal with PMS but at least I felt normal most of the time. I think my husband is begining to question why we wanted another child though hehehe. Talk about hormones. I feel a bit better this week. I guess it doesn't hurt that Tory is trying to help me out with everything. What a sweety. Why didn't he do that when I was pregnant with Meike? I feel like it is my first all over again. Anyways, did that answer your question?
