Hi @A myPCOSteam Member, What was the name of the device at ULTA? The website blocked the link.
I was diagnosed with pcos many years ago... my I just recently had my first child he is now 4 months old. After he was born the ob placed me on the birth control pill. After being placed on it I have had horrible headaches! Has anyone else suffered headaches after being placed on birth control pills?
Hello Everyone!
Has anyone else experienced prolonged bleeding while having PCOS?? I’ve had this “period” since December 2017 and was recently put on birth control to stop the bleeding due to becoming anemic. I’ve had a Pap smear and it came back “normal”. Is there something out there (besides birth control) I can take to stop this issue?
Thank you,
Monica
Take medroxy progesterone when you start bleeding. It helps me.
I have been on my period for 19 days and its not easing up........

I just started the daily birth control pill today to try relieving my array of painful symptoms like cramps and pelvic pain with pressure and low back pain which is isolated to left side. I am looking for feedback on anyone’s personal experience with Slynd - Thank you
Honestly the pill was the only thing that helped with my cramps and the heaviness but every woman’s body is different I hate to say this but it takes about 2 periods to really start working

I was diagnosed with PCOS and mild endometriosis in 2022. My periods have been irregular for a while now, I think it’s been around 3 months since my last period. However, for the last 4 weeks, I have spotted every day (red blood upon wiping, not enough to fill a pad) anyone else in a similar situation?
Hi Claire! Thank you for sharing. I also had a similar experience before I started the birth control pill. Long story short, I had irregular periods my whole life but never spotting, then I started… read more
I recently started using Nuvaring and i have found that my emotions are all over the place. This os the first birth control i have used in about 15 years so i dont remember how i did the first time around. I have been way more sensitive and crying like crazy. It is driving me insane. Please advise...
Yes, the hightened hormones really can effect someone emotionally. Think of a pregnant woman - she can easily be emotional in any direction.
Does anyone else experience spotting while on birth control. I've been on it two years and in August and again now I have experience spotting on my birth control. Terrified it's some form of cancer
Has anyone gotten pregnant while on birth control pills? If so, can you tell me your symptoms? Ive been on birth control for about 6 months.. but my period was like spotting. Im also very nausous, heartburn crazy, lower abdominal and pelvic pressure, headaches, & sore lower back and neck.
