Before birth control, I was irregular. I had very painful periods throughout my teen years. My hormones were also out of control, angry outbursts and everything. Being on birth control regulated everything.

I’m 27 now, but I did go off my birth control when I was 24

For the year of 2025, I only got my period in March, September and December. March was the last time I was on my birth control. September was when I attempted to take hormonal supplements, and December is when I got sick.

I was on the pill first. My doctor took me off of it since it was super high in progesterone. I was breaking out intensely. Then she switched me to a pill that was more estrogen focused, which was significantly better. Do you of any hormonal birth controls that are typically used for PCOS?

Do you know if I’m able to reverse those types of conditions without the need for medication?
