I'm On Errin (0.35mg) and I have a question.

I started this a month ago and while I like some of the side effects including: felling more energetic, I seem happier, and I am not in pain from my endo like I was before. The first 2 weeks I was on it I cramped really bad, but that went away and I feel so much better.

What is concerning me is started a few days ago I have a really dry mouth. I am constantly thirsty. I just had a test done to check my sugar and it was normal. No matter what I drink I can't get enough.

My food cravings are kind of out of control. I want nothing but Almond Joys and bean burritos. The Almond Joy craving gets way out of control at work.

My periods are kinda weird. My doctor told me for the first 3 months I might spot. I just had a HUGE bleed right before going on this BCP from taking Provera. On my second week of Errin I bled pretty heavy and then it just stopped. This past Thursday I started "spotting". It was only in the mornings and more than actual blood it was more like a bloody discharge...dark brown and thick (sorry TMI). By Noon it would be gone.

And the last thing, I have a constant watery discharge when I am not "spotting". And it gets heavier during intercourse, so bad sometimes I have to change the sheets...its clear and like I said, really watery.

Me and hubby do not use any other form of protection, we haven't since June of last year. Right before starting Errin I had a blood pg test done and it was negative.

I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced these same things....sometimes these really bother me. Especially the dry mouth. Like lastnight I went out to dinner with family and they all kept looking at me funny cause I chugged about 5 strawberry lemonades right in a row. I felt foolish, but I was so thirsty!

If you read all of this, thanks. Any comments/advice are welcome.
