This type of BC does not cause issues in everyone, in fact the majority of people do just fine but it could be an avenue to investigate. I wish you well and hope you both can find answers. Please understand that I am not trying to come to your wife's defense but there could be more underneath the surface. I had a hard to time going to Drs because every time I tried to get answers I was told everything looked normal. If she's discouraged help he understand that sometimes what is normal for most is not necessarily normal for all. Fine a new Dr, keep trying to get answers. Eventually you will come across a Dr that will think outside the box and actually treat the individual.



This is actually quite interesting and is well worth looking into. To be honest, she has switched birth control do many times since the birth of our son 5 years ago I'm not exactly what she's on. All I know is that it is some sort of injection she goes in for every month or every 3 months.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I will start doing some homework ASAP!
