All the gory details!

Since I was a closed book for 19 years, now I'm a little too open! ... I started my period a few days ago, not that it's a bad thing, but it's not a good thing. When I start on my own, I have a VERY hard time stopping! My body is known to just start sporadically while in the middle of a month on birth control. Crazy I know. Well, a few months back one of my friends asked if I would like her free samples of birth control, because she no longer needed them. I of course took them knowing that I would need them whenever my body decided to start again.

I flashed back to a year ago. (for all the details, read this Post, and then the update to that is this Post) So that's a small glimpse of my history. When I started I decided, I've done this before- I'll let it go 4 to 5 days and then start birth control. Tuesday was day 5 and my period started to pick up a bit so I caved and took BC. We'll see how I do. Anyone else done the "tapering dose" of birth control? It's something that Dr. G used to have me do all the time. Take a pill every 4 hours for 3 days, then ever 6 hours for 3 days, then ever 8 hours, every 12 hours and then once a day. I wouldn't mind doing it except it makes me so incredibly nauseous! The first time I did it we had our 22 month old foster daughter and I couldn't change her diaper without wanting to puke!

The other part, my body is too smart for it! Seriously, it's weird! My body learns when I'm supposed to take BC , so I'll be going alone period free for a day or two. Then I'm make the transfer from 4 hours to 6, at 4 1/2 hours my body realizes I should of had it by then and will start gushing again! I've learned to out smart my body, I can not taking it right at 4 hours or right on the hour- so I skip it around between 4 to 6 hours and slowly work it further and further apart. So far, still bleeding, but I'm only on dose #3 so far. Wish me luck!
