I'm 28 and want to lose ............drum roll...........73 pounds.  First I want to lose 33 pounds and will be very happy with that!  I'm 233 *sigh* and having a lot of trouble because, let's face it, i'm lazy.  I try to walk everyday and usually do, at least in the mornings but lately it's been sooooooooo hot that I don't really want to.  Aside from that i'm chasing around a one year old all day long and barely have any time to clean the house much less excersise well.  Plus i'm still breastfeeding on top of all that, which makes dieting a no-no and forces my excersising to a minimum or i'll lose milk supply.  I really would like support though.  I really want to be healthy for my family and myself and I want to have more kids.  I refuse to until I lose some weight though and I really think this site will help along with support from others like you girls.

I suggest stop taking them immediately if they are having that much of an effect on you.  Have you been to an Endocrinologist?  I'm no doctor by any means but it sounds like you may have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome).  My sister has it but she's the reverse, she gets no periods, or just a few a year, however some people with PCOS can have extremely long periods that last for weeks or months.  A couple of other friends of mine also have this.  The name sounds scarier than the condition and it's treatable, getting tested for it to rule it out is my suggestion.  Since you're not sexually active i'm assuming the bc pills is mostly for trying to control your periods but until you find out what exactly the problem is they won't be of much help and may only harm you by messing with your already delicate hormone imbalance.  Good luck!
