I was linked here through a friend of a friend, and I completely and totally get where you are at.
( was diagnosed at 19, after having a 3 month period (before then I was always irregular but that was blamed on my being fat) after being put on the pill, I was quickly taken off because my bp sky rocketed and there was the fear of me stroking out. I was then referred to an endo who put me on metformin (didn't do shit) and a whole bunch of other drugs that really just resulted in me vomiting up everything I ate (and unfairly I STILL didn't lose weight). I'd go see him every six months having gained 20 pounds each time and get told "its ok you aren't trying to conceive right now" and I finally got disenchanted. Stopped going. Stopped taking all the meds (including the low dose pill they had finally got to work) and didn't get a period of 8 plus years. I thought it was a good deal. Finally went back to the gyno a year ago and since we were trying to conceive was put on provera to "jump start periods" that worked so well I pretty much bled for a full month every time I was prescribed it. So we started taking it monthly. And didn't stop bleeding. Now back on the pill and have terrible headaches. So after this cycle, we are cleaning my system out and they are putting me on another form of birth control...
And I guess that all of this makes me a slut too, one who has had exactly one sexual partner...
