Starting Birth Control: Fear and Excitement

I have endo and PMDD and it has helped me a ton. I would have severe depression and pain around my period and now I have neither. I’d say it is worth a try but some people do have bad experiences with it.

I have endo and adeno and i have found that the pill can be super effective at reducing symptoms and pain, i have tried about 9 or 10 kinds at this point and I find that the best ones for my endo/adeno were the progestin only/minipill as the estrogen in the combo pills tends to flare all of my symptoms up

I agree people either love or hate it. I have been on the pill for over seven years and I've never had side effects. I needed to not have period once for an event and skipped the week of pills to start your period. That didn't go so well so I don't recommend that. Taken normally though I've never had anything. It really helps to keep your period on a reliable schedule and it helps with the pain some.

everyone i know either loves it or hates it, personally i’ve never had a single bad side effect that i can remember, i’m also on it 24/7 and haven’t had a period since 2019😅 it can’t hurt to try for a month or two!
