PCOS and Hormone Imbalance
I’m 21 years old, and I was diagnosed with PCOS two years ago. I’ve tried to take Mya, Alesse, and a tri-cyclen birth control in the past, but I’ve had to stop taking every one because BC sends me into emotional turmoil almost immediately after taking a pill, every time. I’m on Welbutrin (150mg) and Pristiq (100mg) for my depression, and Trazodone (50mg) to help me sleep. I also take Zinc and Magnesium daily to try and lower my estrogen levels.
I was prescribed Cyestra 35 yesrerday, as I asked for a BC that would help with PCOS, but then I read the manual and it literally says that this medication should not be used as birth control. I don’t want to start taking this as I fit most of the symptoms for an estrogen dominance, and this pill has more estrogen in it than anything I’ve taken in the past. But at the same time, my hormones are so messed up that I’ve been having a constant period for the past two weeks and it’s been absolute hell because my emotions have been wild. Please help!

Birth control pills cannot heal PCOS plus they have side effects...

PCOD is completely reversible in my experience. I have reversed not only my own PCOD but have helped hundreds of women heal their hormone Imbalances and achieve healty natural pregnancies. It's frustrating to see that so many women are suffering and not getting the right information. It can be reversed not by masking the symptoms with drugs but by addressing the root cause of the problem. Needs root cause evaluation with further investigations...Can be healed with diet changes, lifestyle changes, self care and Detoxification.Hope this helps.
