      i mean possibly but i have endometriosis and have been on BC before even my POTS diagnosis šŸ˜­ periods make my POTS worse so itā€™s worth it. personally, esp if itā€™s estrogen/estradiol based or a combo of that with progesterone, makes POTS worse. my GnRH antagonists and progesterone only BCs are better i THINK.
