My experience : A couple questions about Estarylla and it's affects on BBT, mood, and period
I had been tracking my BBT as a method of birth control until I could start taking the pill (previously had issues with IUD for ~5 years and had taken oral birth control before that, but my memory of those days are skewed.)
I started taking Estarylla on sat October 1st, the first night of my period. My BBT that day was 98.11°F that morning. The next morning, ~12 hours after taking my first pill, my BBT was 97.91°F. I skipped temp checking Monday because I was out of town, but checked again this morning (tuesday) and it was 98.61°F.
My period this month was very short and all brown, no red, and very light. I blame taking plan B for the differentiation in that. For more info, I took plan B on Sept 9th, had a short and light period 5 days after taking it that lasted 48 hours, and didn't bleed again until Oct 1st.
I also started taking Bactrin the day after my first period thanks to a UTI I developed, and I'm wondering if it's a combination of all these things that may be affecting my period and BBT?
I also had HORRIBLE mood swings immediately after starting it. They were mild leading up to my period which they usually are, but every day that I've taken the pill I have become increasingly agitated and angry and suicidal thoughts have suddenly become a primary focus in my head. I was on a plane yesterday with a small child behind me, not being overly active but I could tell they had something on the table behind my seat and I was just SO ANGRY at that child for no reason. I didn't say or do anything, and I felt awful for having those thoughts. That's not like me at all. I can get irritable for sure, but the thoughts in my head were just so mean. I also started fights with my husband that were completely unnecessary.
So to wrap this up, I'm curious about a few things: 1. Does hormonal BC affect BBT? 2. Do they immediately affect your period, or was that a combination of taking plan B almost a month before and starting antibiotics? 3. Do these thoughts go away? Should I keep going for a month or so to see if anything changes, or should I ask to change BC right away?
