I'm so glad I'm not alone. XD It's really annoying!
I went to Victoria's Secret once to try on a pushup bra... one Heidi Klum was advertising. I was like "THIS BRA WILL MAKE MY BOOBS LOOK LIKE HEIDI KLUM'S BOOBS."
It flattened me. Which I never would have thought possible.
Definitely NOT Heidi Klum boobs.
False advertising, VS... false. advertising.
The bras I'm wearing now that I need to replace I bought at Target. They're awesome, padded just enough but they're not like THIS IS A PADDED BRA. It's like a t-shirt bra, very casual and you can wear it under t-shirts and sweaters and stuff without it being like HEY LOOK AT THIS BRA!
But they don't carry them anymore. x_x I'm not even sure which brand it was now because the label has all worn off, but they don't have anything at all like them.
I also have a hell of a time finding anything without an underwire (which LOLOLOLOL yeah I have zero need for an underwire.) I've decided I'll probably just have to buy something and do surgery to remove the underwire...

For those of you who have had some issues with hormones and birth control, did the side effects start right away with used the pill? I have been taking Marvelon 28 for a little over a year now and have had some of the side effects the whole time, like worse bleeding, worse cramps, tender etc.. But thought nothing of it. Now I am experiencing some serious mood swings. Might even call it depression I honestly dont know. I have been fighting off tears for no reason for a week now. This is the first time I have been aware that perhaps my BC is causing it, but I have little break downs like this pretty regularly, around the same time each month (when pmsing) and have since I started on the pill. Never had them before. Thought it was just life style change or something?
Calling the Dr today to get taken off this pill. Dont like not being able to control my own emotions.

I was pretty hormonal before I was on BC, so I didn't really notice how crazy I was getting until nearly three years later and my boyfriend (now husband) pointed it out. Then I ran into a bunch of issues getting my prescription filled (was out of stock, then back ordered, then it was Christmas) and I felt sooooo much better off it.... but then there was the whole BC thing, so I decided to get an IUD. It is one that releases progesterone, but it doesn't have any estrogen, and the dosage of progesterone is lower compared to oral contraceptives. Plus, no periods!
Marvelon gave me HORRIBLE side effects. Like going through puberty all over again. Acne, mood swings, extreme depression, pain, severe cramps, weird weight gain.
Nuvaring, up until lately (for the past 3 years) has been excellent for me. And even the side effects I just started seeing aren't overly serious or even that annoying.
With Mirena my side-effects were all physical and started right away. With NuvaRing, one of the side-effects (physical) wasn't right away, but was pretty early on. For the depression, I can't tell you if it started right away or not, because the depression steadily got worse the longer I was on it. It MIGHT have started right away and I didn't notice it because it wasn't so bad right away. I'm not sure. I was on it for almost a year before I made the connection. I remember several months where I was seriously depressed, but I just thought it was due to life things like my job sucking and stuff. I'm pretty sure I was sitting in my bedroom crying (not for any real reason, just because crying was something that happened frequently) looking up side-effects because of the other one I was experiencing, and stumbled across women talking about the depression they experienced while on it. It was like somebody had just slapped me in the face and yelled HEY! IT'S THE BIRTH CONTROL! I went in the bathroom, pulled it out, threw it in the trash, and never looked back.
I can say for sure I started to feel BETTER immediately. The next morning I woke up feeling better than I had in weeks and after about a month or so I just steadily started feeling better and better. After about three weeks I was on the Mirena, but I don't think it had anything to do with it. Just the further away I got from having those particular hormones in me, the better I felt.
