PLEASE HELP! ok so i began a birth control pill about two years ago...within three months i ballooned 15 pounds bigger (my breasts swelled, my stomach swelled it was not fun) i went off it and i havent had my period since! i also now have recently gotten a problem where all of a sudden i feel like ive sat in something but really some kind of watery liquid has gushed all over my underwear...its like water but its A LOT i dont know where it comes from!!! Anyways, so now i have decided i need to start taking a Birth control pill again so i can have kids someday...i have been taking this new pill for a week and already my face has COMPLETELY breaking out (never had a problem with acne) and i am an emotional WRECK (again, not usually a problem) PLEASE HELP!!!!!
1. please dont answer this question with "you need to give the pill time to work" because OBVIOUSLY it had worked to the point where it ruined my body
2. my geinocologist is a complete idiot and is disregarding my whole problem because clearly she does not care! someone please, even if you might think you know what is going on it would help!!

Hi, yeah it's really not okay to have a gynecologist that you don't trust or like, there's a real big difference between a good doctor and a crummy one. Usually better to look for a lady doctor in that area of specialty if possible.
Also, take heart, there are loads of different kinds of birthcontrol these days. It sounds like you react particularly badly to the pill, you might have more success with depo-provera or the patch, there are also IUDs and diaphragms, etc, etc... Don't settle for one that has those kind of side effects, get yourself a good doctor and explore your options under her supervision.
Good luck! ]
If your doctor does not take your problem
seriously, find another doctor. But do see
a doctor.
It is very rare for birth control pills to
cause symptoms like you describe. So you
need to see someone about this. ]
Take a pregnancy test, and get a new gyno.
I'd suggest seeing a regular doctor about this, too.
NO ONE here can diagnose you. ]
Maybe you're pregnant(don't hate me for suggesting it). If you are, then birth control is BAD. K ]
