detoxing from the birth control pill

[Guest guest]

So, I stopped taking the pill about 6 weeks ago after being on it for 22

years!!! I have already had my monthly friend once. The problem I am

having is that I am having INCREDIBLE ovulation pain as well as

moodiness....my poor family. In addition to this I also have Interstycial

cystitis which seems to flair when I ovulate. Any natural options for

getting me through this? I also had miserable cramps....I am hooing that as

my body gets back on its own natural rythmn things may calm down... in the

mean time OUCH!

 

Any thoughts or support would be appriciated.

Hi Jo,

 

The only thing that I can think of, which has worked for me for

moodiness and cramping for years, is catnip tea. It is available

from a variety of sources, including health food stores. It

functions mostly as a relaxant, which helps the body roll with

whatever pain it is having. It also helps with calming you down, and

letting your mind relax. Hope this helps. I'm not sure if I'm

allowed to recommend brand names, as I am fairly new to the group,

but I recommend Alvita. Other brands seem to be diluted with other

plants, and do not have quite the same strength.

Natural progesterone cream rubbed into the abdomen

made a huge difference for me. It reduced cramps and

when I rubbed it into my breasts, they weren't as

sore. Hormone imbalance can cause the mood swings and

cystitis.
