Anyone with PCOS that was/is on birth control and stopped taking it (or thinking about it)? Or recommended they start taking it but didn’t?

I’m not really seeing a difference with me taking them, my mood swings are horrible (still) and now my period is starting to get longer and I’m bleeding heavily. I’m not sure how they’re helping hormonally and just thinking about the problems they can eventually cause is giving me anxiety 😣

Did you feel that the pill was lessening the symptoms of PCOS or helping in anyway? Is there a specific reason (other than wanting to get pregnant and taking birth control is causing the opposite) you stopped taking the pill?

Or should I just stick with the birth control?
