Thanks for the well wishes & suggestions you guys.

My doctor and I both thought that trying Camila would be an okay place to start despite my past negative experiences with BC. The logic behind this was that because both BC I had used before and experienced adverse symptoms were with estrogen only BC, being that progesterone is practically nonexistent in my body (.6, normal is 11) this was a recipe for disaster. Since my progesterone is so low my doctor noted that it is very likely that I hadn't been ovulating every month. This means that luck isn't the reason that my guy and I haven't gotten pregnant - instead I was not that fertile.

So my doctor and I agreed that since I REALLY do not want to get pregnant, I should be on BC (trust me you guys, this is not a decision that I took lightly). She did inform me that Camila is not bio-identical progesterone, but rather progestins. Her logic was that since I need both some form of BC as well as something to make up for my body's lack of progesterone, Camila would be a good place to start. I agreed to try, only because I'm 22, preparing for law school and despite having been with my guy for nearly 6 years, I'm nowhere near ready for kids. My doctor did order blood tests in 2 months. If I have a bad experience with Camila or it fails raise my progesterone levels to normal (which I doubt it will since I'm so low), my doctor will most likely prescribed bio-identical progesterone.

At the moment I am in the process of correcting my vitamin deficiencies - taking prescription Iron, B12, Magnesium and Vitamin D supplements.
