PCOS- my struggle with BC
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hi, I am writing here to see if anyone else feels the same way as me, or is going through the same situation, because I am feeling quite alone. I am now 20 years old, and since I got my first period at 14, they have always been extremely iregular. Sometimes I would just experience spotting and no other symptoms, and other times I would have excessive bleeding with unmanageable cramps. Eventually, I stopped getting my period all together. I went a few months with no period, and was diagnosed at age 20 with PCOS. I am now on birth control, and I have not stopped bleeding. I am cramping 24/7, crying at everything, and bleeding through a super tampon and pad in under 3 hours. My doctor says to ride it out for at least 3 months, but I'm getting extremely frustrated, and my escalated hormones arent helping. The thought of dealing with this for 3 months is terrifying and making me extremely mad. Anyone else going through this and can maybe offer advice or motivation? Thank you.
