It just depends on how motivated the drug manufacturer is to make a generic. (or in this case, how motivated they are to come out with a new version)<br />Without additional hormones I have some horrrrible pms and was actually diagnosed with menorrhagia and that's why I have been jumping from low dose to high dose and anything in between. then yaz came along. It's only 4 days off and it makes life soooooooooo much more bearable. So just my 2 cents, if you're still looking for some light, maybe look into it? Oh and I'm totally looking up that Lybrel stuff!!Sawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786425577740730338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1059458276630518177.post-44917481024030780782011-01-12T11:07:11.876-07:002011-01-12T11:07:11.876-07:00Oh wow...at BYU it was the same thing.

You'd think they'd want to pay for all types of birth control equally. I mean, if you have a kid, they have to insure someone else...more costs. Of course, that's how they make money, too. Either way...it's total crap. <br /><br />I was put on birth control when I was 17 because of hormonal issues and it wasn't covered at the time by law (which it is now in Michigan and most other places). My doctor had to write the insurance company and it was a whole ordeal. You'd think I wanted a monthly MRI or something. <br /><br />Now that we're trying to have a baby and I'm forced to have non-birth control periods, I realize how much they affected me before. I was also that girl with the cramps so bad she couldn't get out of bed and that's returned to some extent. But more than that, the emotional rollercoaster is back. I can't wait till we have this kid and I can get back on the pill.Kimhttp://perfectlycursedlife.com/noreply@blogger.com
