Will birth control change me?

I just got put on a low dose of birth control to help my periods. I always have cramps and a heavy period so my gyno just gave me it to even things out. But what exactly will it do for me? I know it will make my periods shorter and less painful, but will it affect my hormones? Will my mood change? I'm always a little grumpy and low, but will the pill affect that?

This probably sounds really strange, but I don't want it to make me all perky because I actually think when I'm low, I am more creative. I write my best poems and I get really inspired by my low emotions. I'm just curious as to what this pill will make me feel like. I'm scared that it will change me or something. I've never been on anything like this and I don't know how it's going to make me feel.

Am I worrying about this too much?!!Will birth control change me?
I think you are worrying too much!



I've been on several different pills to regulate my period. I have noticed with some of them that the mood swings that happen right before my period are much less, but it doesn't impact my moods or how I feel the rest of the month.



If you don't like how you feel on it, you can always get off it. The hormones would be out of your system in less than a month.
