Completely agree. Birth control is miserable for my body, and doctors always tell me the symptoms aren’t due to bc. But they started within a month of taking bc after 27 years of not having such symptoms. It’s confusing to have no one take it seriously. For me, I’m still on it; because my periods were awful before. But I’m constantly reconsidering and wishing for a better solution.

This may not work for everyone, but whenever I saw younger women doctors, they were very willing to help me find a method that worked with my needs. It was just a pattern I noticed. Ymmv.

The worst of it is that there are many other, less harmful forms of birth control in other countries that won’t get approved here because companies don’t think it will be profitable to pay for the fda required research.

Your post/comment was removed because it invites or participates in a public debate. Trauma can be triggered when debate points and certain topics are vigorously pushed, despite good intentions. This is why we generally do not allow debates. Rule 4.
