Embarrassed Girl,

You're so welcome. And you may be able just to talk to the nurse at your doctor's office and talk to her or him about this. Often a nurse practitioner or a physician's assistant is all you need to discuss a change in birth control.

To help in the meantime, try to cut out high carbs and processed foods and fats that aren't monounsaturated. You want as much whole food as possible -- lean protein, vegetables and fruit. For oil, use olive oil. Fish oil supplements may help. Also, if you have a health foods store near you, you can buy Evening Primrose Oil tablets, which may help you smooth out a bit. Try to eat organic dairy products or meat only -- you want to avoid meat or dairy that has been treated with antibiotics or growth hormones. And exercise -- it'll help those good chemicals keep flowing while you wait for the hormonal imbalance to settle down. And try to cut down on caffeine and/or sugar. Get about 10-15 minutes of sunlight a day, or consider taking a Vitamin D supplement.

This is a lot, I know, but just do as much as you can. Any of it will help!! And let us know what happens, OK?
