I am 37, no kids & this year I found out my ovaries are very cystic but I am not diagnosed with PCOS due to my hormones being in normal range. To manage pain and abnormal bleeding, she put me back on birth control pills. One month in and I can tell how much my tolerance level is much shorter. I don’t like feeling like this. Any suggestions to work with my obgyn to help either switch to another pill or look for a non-hormonal solution?

I would seek out a naturopath who can provide support to balance hormones naturally. This has helped my PCOS. I’m not talking about pseudo-science but rather looking at diet and supplementation, and understanding what is happening with your hormones at different parts of your cycle. To get an idea of what I mean check out @jvictoriahealth on Instagram.

Thank you so much!!!

There’s a non-hormonal IUD. I think it’s copper? I don’t know much about it but might be an option to research.

Yea I am struggling with feeling super emotionally charged. Off the pill, I am more chill. I was on birth control for 14 years before and got off it for 3 years and felt more in control of my emotions. Now I feel so triggered all the time 😩

Do you mean tolerance level for alcohol?

Hahaha no. I mean I more flippant and tolerate less bs. Which I don’t like feeling that way
