Is It Normal To Not Be Able To Sleep When Your Hormones Are All Over The Place?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

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
