I read here somewhere that being on the pill may cause a woman to be more emotional the week before her period. I'm a first time user and it's about a week before my period's s'posed to come and I'm feeling rather depressed and listless. Just wondering if it's an effect of the pill or I'm having bouts of depression.

I never had any problems with being emotional right before my period on birth control. I would think you would be less emotional since it tends to regulate your hormones.

I get that way too...among other feelings. The problem is the drop in estrogen in the pill. My doc has me taking an extra estogen pill during the placebo week because my body cannot handle that drop in estrogen.
