Hello! I've been on the mini-pill since having my first child 18 months ago. Since then I have experienced the not so wonderful side effects such as hair loss, oily scalp, acne & a COMPLETE loss of my sex drive.

I'm trying to make the decision whether or not to go off of the pill and resort to the Fertility Awareness Method along with the use of condoms or abstenence during my fertile time. My question: Does the mini-pill alter my natural cycle? meaning when I stop taking it will my current cycle change making it difficult or impossible for me to use this method effectively? I really am not ready for another child right now, however I would like to start trying again about this time next year. Am I taking too much of a risk of getting pregnant if I try this or should I just continue to take the pill and deal with these awful side effects?

Also, I can' be on any form of birth control that contains estrogen, that leaves me with no other option besides Fertility Awareness.

I am 30 yrs old and I have PCOD. This makes it impossibly difficult for me to stay on a diet and exercise routine. I have to lose 100 pounds so that I can hopefully soon conceive. Recently, I lost 5 pounds in a matter of a week by staying on a diet consisting of fruits, steamed vegetables, fish, chicken, etc. I briskly walked on the treadmill for 30 mins once a day. But sooner or later I always fall off the wagon, and that's where I'm stuck. To top that, I have a voracious sweet tooth.

Its so hard for me to get back to exercising. And if I don't exercise, I make very poor food choices. Its a vicious cycle I cant seem to break from.
Is there anyone who was or is in the same situation? How did you overcome it? How did you lose the weight? The hormonal imbalance I'm plagued with (no estrogen and an overload of testosterone) has given me other symptoms such as excessive hair-loss and facial hair. I feel disgustingly fat, ugly, and completely hopeless.

What are some good weight-loss pills I could use (for a placebo effect)or something else that will aid in my weight-loss struggle? Please help. I am desperate and at the end of my tether. Thanks so much.

i heard that soy products have alot of estrogen, should males eat it, like it wont cause breasts or loss of facial hair or loss of muscle will it?

I am suffering from hair loss, weight gain, depression, and low sexual drive. I quit using estrogen about 2 years ago. My doctor recommended I start using vegetable hormones, but looking on the internet there are so many diferent kinds, Anyone know which is best?
