Hi,

have not been on in a while partially due to the fact that for the past several months I have been thankfully doing very well. I started aygestin (norethindrone) and have been having increased frequency and urgency of bowel movements as well as less form to stools. also have had a lot of cramping and dull collicky type pain
have you experienced this?
just started a new job and cant afford to be sick right now

Hi Dikid, glad that you are feeling better UC-wise as I know you had a heck of a rough time a number of months back.

Birthcontrol seems to come up on occasion as something that helps or hurts UC symptoms (you know the typical UC thing). I'm sure some of the ladys who've run into this might be able to suggest different variants to tryout that might help. It seems hormones, whether through birthcontrol, during pregnancy, or post-partum all seem to throw a wrench within the works for UC-symptoms for some.

Have you tried stopping the aygestin (norethindrone) for a few weeks to see if your UC symptoms improved?

Thanks for your reply.
I only started it about 10 days ago. I have been doing very well for the past few months previously. For the first time I was able to feel like a normal human since being diagnosed. I need to stick out the aygestin for a full cycle but after that I'm going to go off of it. There are many topical BC I can utilize instead.
