Add one more med to the list...

I only have 4 more days of taking birth control pills (woohoo!!!). These suckers have been messing with my period! I have essentially been spotting the entire time i've been on them. Dr. Lee said it's totally normal and not to worry unless it starts to turn into bright pinkish colored (which it hasn't) but it's not exactly pleasant...


Today I also start taking 1mg of Dexamethasone daily for 19 days. Getting those pills was an adventure in itself. I picked up the pills from Walgreens to be told by the pharmacist that they don't carry the pill in 1mg form, they only have it in .5mg so they are giving me double the amount of pills and to just take 2 pills a day. Ok, no problem. This means that I should have 38 pills. Thankfully I was reading the warning labels on the outside of the bottle later and noticed that it didn't look like a whole lot of pills were in there, so I decided to count them. Turns out they only gave me 19 pills! You better believe I called up the pharmacy immediately, ready to battle if they didn't believe me. But the pharmacist didn't even seem surprised (which is a little scary to be honest) and just told me to come on back and get the rest. Moral of the story is: count your pills!
