I know some women don't take birth control pills for that reason. I've never taken the Pill, but when I was younger I probably had pretty high levels of estrogen.
Ohh my gosh. I just looked up high estrogen symptoms. I had them all except fluid retention! No wonder I loved menopause!

Beth I hated that peoples first impression of me was sexual. I wanted to be known for my wit and smarts. Instead I got dismissed at first. Then when they listened to me they were so surprised. Gaining weight on AP was actually a relief in many ways. When I was manic I acted on it but then when I crashed the guys were all wanting more and I was not interested.
