Since you had significant problems/symptoms that started concurrently with stopping the BC (and suddenly, at that), that would be something to look into. Hormonal stuff can really wreak havoc. And it sure wouldn't help anything in trying to stay balanced BP-wise(!) As you say you are starting a new BC tomorrow, that may help in figuring out what's what. I have no idea what kind of timeframe your body's adjusting to the BC would be, but definitely ask them.

It may help in easing the mother situation if another possible factor in your struggles can soon be determined. Maybe it can hold her off a bit. "Step one, let's find out how much of this is hormone-related, then take it from there." It's very logical and sensible order of operations, plus you're not directly disagreeing (at least for now ), you know?

Good luck and keep us posted.
