When I feel a mood swing is happening I try and do some deep breathing and repeat positive affirmations in my head. It can help take the edge off my bad mood and helps me feel a bit more in control. You can do this alongside an oral contraceptive for pms (sorry I cannot recommend one).

Also I warn others that I am on the warpath and to stay out of my way so to speak. This helps with my anxiety that I am going to overstep the mark and upset people around me and possibly make enemies. This link has info about the effect of mood swings on others and how we can help ourselves.

yaz was a nightmare for me, absolutely destroyed me after only 2-3weeks! i was crying constantly and have never felt so "dark".

my cycle was a mess for months coming off it.

SO as good as some things are for others, do see your doctor cause it may not be best for you!

i am considering tryin another pill, but am scared now!

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
