Biological Clock

Those who despise children would have you believe that the Biological Clock doesn't exist.
People who suddenly crave children at 30 aren't under attack from hormones, they're just realizing that they're getting old.
I would have believed the same up until this week. Just old ladies desperate to prove that they're still attractive, trying to get themselves knocked up. I'm not so sure anymore.
I'm starting to think some of us just override it unintentionally.
For 8 years I've used the same Birth Control medication. If it's not broke, don't fix it.
In a simple clerical error, that's probably illegal, the pharmacist put a different kind of pill in my bag when I picked up my prescription this month.
In a simple act of laziness, that's probably very wrong, I didn't return it. I had to start my cycle that day. I took the different pill. How different could they all be?
Many people on Birth Control get very used to the fact that the pill makes you less excited about getting laid.
After 8 years I'd basically forgotten what my hormones were like before I started taking it.
The  Birth Control that I'm taking now must have different hormone levels because things are changing.
My emotions are uncontrollable.
I have crazy obsessions with doing things that I KNOW would totally ruin me, I scheme all day about my crazy ideas, praying that I'll make the impossible, possible.
My dreams at night are so real that I can't let go of them. I want to act on them as soon as I wake up and they control me for days.
I'm happy and excited and anxious for no reason.
I'm certain that I'm mentally not all there right now. And the change in medication is likely the reason. Maybe it will pass once I'm used to it.
I haven't suddenly had the urge to have children, but I'm starting to believe that others do.
The rest of us just unwittingly did something to ourselves permanently or temporarily to stop it.
Hormones are a powerful thing. I'm not sure if I like it or not.
