about

I'm a 19 yr old mainly agnostic ex philosophy student with rather strong views about a lot of things. I'm very liberal, love the diversity I live in in London and hate that America hasn't separated church from state.
I'm engaged to the love of my life, but agree it is a little bizarre to get engaged at 18.
I'm confident, quite literally crazy, caring and crippled. My manual wheelchair is called Sebastian and he gets scared when he goes too fast, my electric is called Jermaine (after the Flight of the Conchords character) and he really does not like ice.
I can read Braille and I know basic sign language because I believe everyone should be given equal chances. I dislike it that money doesn't have Braille on it.
I'll do my best to help out with your situations, I've been in and seen many a family conflict, I've had my fair share or love life crises, I've had about every illness known to man (could tell you a lot of amusing stories about psychiatric wards) and I'm "The Queen of Hair Dye" so hopefully I'll have some idea about advice. If it looks like I don't give lots of advice, it's because I only advise on things I know about. I also detest poor spelling and grammar so although having dyslexia makes me a bit hypocritical about this.

advice

19 y/o. I'm worried about not having had a period since before Christmas, I had to change from the normal pill to the mini pill after experiencing a severe migraine (normal pill puts migraine sufferers at the risk of strokes etc), I've always had regular periods on the pill which I've taken for about two years, but when I switched to the mini pill in Dec, I've had no periods. I've been to speak to a nurse about it and she told me it was normal but wasn't very reassuring about it and my mum when she found out completely flipped out and reckons I am ruining my fertility or something. I'm getting fairly stressed out and just need some advise about what to do :(
Thanks so much!

Because the mini pill is taken all the time, it means that often people don't get their period. This is completely healthy and is because of the hormones in the pill.
It's not making your fertility worse, its just how that pill works. Enjoy the fact you don't have to worry about your periods.
I'm on the mini pill due to migranes as well and personally I think its way better than the other one.

If you want to know anything else don't hesitate to ask but seriously, don't worry about it. It's just how it works. Whatever you do though, don't listen to that other person who told you to go back on the other pill. She doesn't know what she's talking about and it could put you at serious risk.
Take care!
