The strangest complaint, ever. Especially coming from a girl. Uh....Jamie don't read this. Does he even have this account? o____O ~~~ Anyways, onto the strangest complaint ever. So I started taking birth control and I'm on the week where you take the placebos. I know it's early to complain about it, seeing as how I took the second one today, but still. When I got them, I told my doctor about how Bob ((only I didn't call it that)) was only 3 days long in general, to which she replied "Oh, well then you may not get a period on this." Well low and behold she was right, but I'm still cramping like hell. Like, worse than usual. Seriously, I'd rather be bleeding. DDD:

	You might already know this, but birth control pills artificially spike up your level of progesterone for as long as you take it, effectively making your body believe you're pregnant, even though you're not. And obviously, your body knows not to let you get pregnant when you already are, which is how the cycle becomes interrupted and your body becomes confused, sometimes resulting in cramps and whatnot...that's what they taught us in Chem 170 anyway. </endscienceystuff> Anyway, sorry about the pain. That probably didn't help. Drink lots of warm fluids, or eat bananas and see if that does anything. Hope it gets better soon.

	So basically what Mimmy is saying is that you're whining and complaining like a pregnant woman? Good job Cham!! You should try the "my body thinks I'm pregnant so rub my feet" thing, see what happens. Just don't hold it in. We'd rather deal with whiny-Cham than confused and mentally unstable Cham...just saying. Good luck!!

	I'm not sure that Jamie knows about this one That is definately an odd complaint, I won't lie. But I think I'd probably feel the same. It sucks having the effects and not the actual thing. Eat bananas, drink hot fluids, etc etc. Feel better. hugs
