This is long but I want to give y’all some back story to what I’ve taken for birth control.

So I am 21 and was diagnosed with PCOS at 14 so I’ve been on the pill. I’m guilty of going off and on it without doctors telling me to not take it. In the last three years I’ve gotten serious about protecting myself and trying to keep my hormones at bay.

I’ve tried the Nuva Ring. Did not like it. Made my depression worse.

I had an IUD. That came out on its own either from strings being too long or not placed right.

The main pill I’ve been on was tri-previfem. In the last year during my PMS week and period. It made my depression and anxiety soo bad that it would throw me into panic attacks and just make me cry at anything.

Back in October I was put on Daysee. Which is a 90 day cycle. I still get my period during the on weeks. So even though I take it correctly I cramp and spot and then on the placebo week it’s a heavy river. Both last at least 7 days. And prior to that spotting or bleeding my depression happens.

I get this is normal for PMS but I know its bad when my self harm urges come back. Being someone with PCOS I find it odd my body is so sensitive I hormones.

So my question is what pills are y’all on and how does it work for you? I want to make an appointment to see a Gyno and either discuss different pills or an IUD again.
