i know this isn’t really a question or the app for asking about being off bc but i’ve been on it for 7 years and i never really had a normal period because i got on it so young and because i have PCOS, but seriously im in SEVERE pain and i don’t have anyone to talk to about it.. i just need advice i don’t know how to cope with such awful pain and a real period. i also hate pads and tampons don’t fit because im tilted i guess…any advice?

Are you not able to get back on birth control?

I have pcos as well! are you choosing to stay off of birth control to work on getting your natural period every month ?

@maeve_ no apparently it’s affecting my liver in some way and they were worried it would ruin the function of my liver so i guess this is my new normal to be off it…

@kw11 it wasn’t really a choice for me to come off but now that i have to be off i want to work on it i just don’t really know how to

@kw11 how do you manage your pcos flare ups? do you have any tips or anything on what to do

@booklover7 you can message me on here if you’d like to talk! I was only diagnosed in 2024 so I am still figuring things out myself, but I have lots of people I can refer you to that have helped me lots.
