"omg...this is just some bullcrap. i was on minastrin  before i got pregnant and the periods weren&#039;t really heavy but i cramped really bad. so i decided after the baby i would go back on it until my paragard comes in. whelp, i get back on it, keep in mind i&#039;m already facing post partum depression.  i have every symptom listed. i can&#039;t believe it would make me suicidal but yes...it does.  i stopped taking it because i couldn&#039;t stand the spotting...well of course that turned into a heavy period. then 2 weeks later i got another full period. so i went without birth control for another month which wasn&#039;t cool. so i decided at the start of my current period i would start back taking it. and here i am...spotting after my period, and i have blood clots."
