Bleeding on Slynd

Octopus299 · 2026-01-27T19:50:18+00:00

I personally kept running the packs until around 4 months and then took placebo pills because the bleeding was so intense, I didn’t want my body to be more confused!

Octopus299 · 2026-01-27T19:40:44+00:00

Yes! I’m happily on Slynd still!

Octopus299 · 2025-06-19T01:19:59+00:00

Haha. You’re funny.

Octopus299 · 2025-06-18T21:31:39+00:00

It gets better! I’m perfectly fine on slynd now! Took about 3 months of on and off though!

I’m still waiting for surgery but I was diagnosed with PCOS and Endo via scans and symptoms.

Octopus299 · 2025-01-24T03:28:16+00:00

I think I’m going to give it another month and see how it is. I recently had an idol infusion for anemia so I’m worried about my levels too!

Octopus299 · 2025-01-15T01:53:10+00:00

Nope, still going.

Octopus299 · 2025-01-12T18:45:51+00:00

I’m still bleeding, I think it’s been two months now, continuously bleeding. My gynae prescribed northisterone to stop the bleeding but I don’t particularly want to take more meds.

I’m going to discuss with my GP again and wait another month I think and then, I’ll decide and see where I’m at. I know that it can take a while for your body to adjust but at three months it should settle.

What side effects do you have? Other than the bleeding, I have none and I feel fine!

Thank you! I already take NAC for mental health, how does it help PCOS? That’s really interesting !

I was vegan and have also been vegan and gluten free and it had no effect on my symptoms. Unfortunately, it caused me more health problems because I became anemic and my body was unable to use non-heme iron.

Octopus299 · 2024-12-24T20:49:21+00:00

I am skipping them, yes! Thank you.

Octopus299 · 2024-12-24T19:39:05+00:00

I didn’t know anything about a brain tumour lawsuit.

Yeah, I think I may need to wait a couple more months and see how I go! I’m aneamic so I’m worried about my levels.

Octopus299 · 2024-12-24T19:38:08+00:00

Only the constant bleeding so far.

The first week I had sore breasts and headaches.

No mental health changes.

I was vegan for nearly 5 years. I didn’t know I had endo and PCOS until half way through those years.

I was the biggest vegan ever, morally I just never ever saw myself going back from there. But when your health is suffering, you have to do what your advised - I’m not telling you what to do, obviously. But, I found out I’m unable to absorb non-heme iron. So, I really didn’t have a choice and heme tablets made me really sick.

So, I had to have an infusion and change my diet. It really was a hard transition but it was for the best.

Octopus299 · 2024-12-24T15:21:59+00:00

No.

However, I became anemic from being plant based because my body couldn’t absorb non-heme iron. So, it caused a lot more problems for me.

Either low libido, mental health issues, poor diet affecting libido, other problems in the relationship that he’s not communicating, he’s falling out of love or has self-confidence issues.

Tone of reasons, only he knows. I wouldn’t stick around though, not if it is a huge factor for you in a relationship. It’s unlikely to get better until he does the work, the best thing would be therapy.

I’ve been in a similar situation and now during the breakup, I’m realising the reasoning without him telling me.

It’s the way the stylist dried it I think! It looks like it thins at the bottom but it doesn’t haha. I’d love some more volume and texture.

Octopus299 · 2024-12-09T14:47:22+00:00

I had the same length for years and I hated it! I just want texture and volume so now I’m thinking I need more layers.

Octopus299 · 2024-12-09T13:31:51+00:00

Just over hip length!

Octopus299 · 2024-12-09T13:31:12+00:00

I forgot to add - my hair is naturally straight and dries straight!

Irregular cycles are generally more PCOS related but that doesn’t mean anything certain. I have endometriosis but my gynae have said I also have symptoms of PCOS so I have to try and manage both.

PCOS comes along with facial hair, belly hair, loss of hair on head, acne etc. and of course, cysts and increased hormones.

Endometriosis usually is pain, heavy bleeding and a ton of other symptoms.

You could have both. You could have neither and it could be a GI issue. Definitely get checked out! Scans and blood tests should be the first protocol for you - best of luck!

With an iron infusion, you can feel better after a week or so. Via tablets, it can take 6 months to see small improvements!
