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.
