I want to see if I can get some advice before I tell my dr...?

I was supposed to be taking Yasmin BC, but decided against it when I got the script filled. Since then (Jan09), I have had terrible mood swings, acne, thoughts of death and dying, and stress/anxiety. I also have a 2 1/2 yo and 4 month old. So, this past week, I was diagnosed with having panic attacks and stress/anxiety disorder, as well as having had PPD after my baby. And after ALL that, I still haven't gotten my period. Now I have been taking menopause supplements for my acne and mood swings (its a herbal hormone balancer from GNC). I don't know if the supps with stress are prohibiting my period, but now I'm very GLAD I didn't take the BCP because it may have whacked out my body even further. I do not take the supplements regularly - I take them every other day. Could it be the stress? I have had sex with my fiance, but he says he hasn't ';slipped up'; so he has no reason to think I am. Also, I didn't preg with either of my kids until I tried BCP and then had to stop for one reason or another. THAT'S when I got preggo, when I stopped the BCP. Please help - I really don't want to go to my dr without some reason why I am still waiting for my period. I think it is the stress, but who knows.





LMP - 2/14 (They were coming every 26 days since Dec 08, but I have never been regular in my life before my last son, so I'm going to chuck it to that...)


Panic Attacks / Anxiety Disorder - Left Chest stabbing pains; heart pounding, sweating sometimes; trouble catching breath; lasts about 45-60 seconds I think. Started with 1st son's preg in Jan06.





Please help with anything you possibly can - Thanks...I want to see if I can get some advice before I tell my dr...?
As a nurse I will tell you you do not need an explanation for your doctor you go in there tell him what is wrong not taking BC is your choice.... and if you are terminating pregnancy does not really matter how it happened anyway.... good luck doctors are not their to judge you they are there to treat you and make you well... as a nurse I will tell you to seek a counselor for the stress depression and anxiety as you have two other children to think about they can put you on effexor and kolonopin to help you and you will notice amazing mood improvements and enjoy life again...and your kids and maybe even the idea of having a baby...





one xray is not going to harm the fetus although it is not recommendedI want to see if I can get some advice before I tell my dr...?
You could have a serious medical problem brewing and you are ignoring it. Go to the doctor.





And if you don't want to be pregnant get a tubal ligation or birth control, or something so you can't try to avoid getting pregnant. To kill a baby is awful!!
stay away from pills if you can avoid them. even if its for acne. dont mix herbal supplements with prescribed meds without asking your doc.


let your fiancee wear a condom so you dont have to take birth control pills. and use spermicide.


pills have bad side effects for many people. side effects that are worse than the actual benefits.
