I was considering the pill at first. But I'm really worried about possible side effects. Both of my older sisters take/or have taken them. One experienced noticeable weight gain. The other experienced emotional change. I mean, I would go into details if you like. She's "emotionally unstable" if you compare her to how she was before taking the pill.
What's your view on the IUD contraceptive? After doing some online research about it, I see both good and bad.
And no, I've never been to the gynecologist. I'm looking to make an appointment next time I visit home. Especially since my mother has a history of uterine polyps(sp?).
Can a change in physical activity affect cycles as well? Seeing different opinions about it such as 1) Exercise causes irregularity or 2) Exercise regulates your cycle. So I've started going to the gym regularly; about 3 times a week since January 26th. Before then, I've never worked out in my LIFE! Do you think this could be another factor in my late period?
Again, thank you very much for helping me out. At this point, I am not as concerned with the possibility of pregnancy. Now I'm just frustrated because it's missing. I really hope it doesn't decide to show up the day I visit home. Four and a half hour bus rides with a period totally suck.
