Birth control and ovulation concerns…
I’ve been on and off birth control since I was about 16 years old due to me having such heavy cycles. It really affected me and my mental health, so when I say on and off I mean sometimes I would just be completely off for a couple months then go back on but using a different kind of birth control or different hormone levels than previously. So it’s been a TON on my body. Birth control not only made me mentally sick, but physically. I struggled to go to school bec of how sick ( physically ) it made me. So once I graduated I decided it was best for me to get off and stay off. I’m now 20. My issue is, I can’t remember the last time I ovulated. I know how to track it but nothing, no matter what I use to track it. And my cycle is so random now. It’s been almost 3 years since I got off birth control and I’m just confused on what’s going on. I tried talking to my doctor but it was dismissed. Anyone else ever go through something like this? I recently found out I have a vitamin deficiency and taking those might help my cycle get back on track but it hasn’t. I’ve been reading a lot about it and some people say changing your diet helps, if you’re a believer in that, what kind of foods do you recommend?
