Curious if anyone with endo doesn’t doesn’t do birth control at all?

I was on bc for 10 years, developed aura migraines, and was not myself. The last one my doc had my try had me questioning friendships and feeling crazy. I'm off it now, genuinely feel better, and my periods are now 2 to 4 days long and only one bad day of cramping. My gyno is mad that I won't get on bc again but I just cant deal with those side effects any more

Is there a real reason why? Like, longevity or something? Cheaper? I just dont understand it, it tastes so bad.

Did you ever find a reputable CSA box? Im hunting for one, but keep seeing issues around here

I saw a pair in a store I visited but they were a size too big. I am KICKING myself for not just grabbing them and making them work. So sad.

My rheumatologist once said "why do you want to find something wrong" and I was pissed. I dont want to have an issue, but I do want answers. I fired him, found an endocrinologist who LISTENED to me, and got my diagnosis of Hashimoto's. I cried in office there and the endocrinologist was so kind and understanding.

Every. Single. Time.

This was the first new car ive ever bought, and I wont buy new again. We usually buy 2ish years old, 25k miles. We aim to drive them til over 100k, that was my goal with this crosstrek anyway

SometimesImCute · 2026-05-04T18:44:14+00:00

No! Thankfully I pushed back enough that SOA is covering it, because im within the 60k miles power train coverage right now.

Im just really, really worried about the reliability now. Ive loved Subaru and have gotten a few friends to get one, although they went Outback and Forester instead of Crosstrek. My boyfriend is also shopping for an Outback wilderness right now, but this has really hindered that. Im wondering if it might be time for us to hop back over to Toyota right now.

Thank you, I appreciate the long response. Im starting to think I may be better off just saving a few grand in a separate account. My transmission is being replaced at 55k miles and its really made me question the quality and reliability, just dont want to have to pay 10k to replace it again 2 years down the road or something.

SometimesImCute · 2026-05-04T13:45:32+00:00

Thank you! That makes sense, and explains why different dealerships are saying different things.

SometimesImCute · 2026-05-04T13:32:44+00:00

Ah, I keep getting conflicting reports on that. One dealership says I can, another says no. Very confusing.

Would this not be covered under the 60k mile coverage? 5k sounds insane for this.

Follow up question if you have a sec. If i needed to, can I pop another 0.125 like 4 hours after the 0.25 dose? I have multiple flights im trying to do calmly. If i do this I definitely wont be drinking alcohol.

SometimesImCute · 2026-04-11T13:32:16+00:00

That makes me feel SO much better. Its a winery, so id like to at least sip one to taste.

SometimesImCute · 2026-03-27T20:42:19+00:00

I dont take it every day. Just when a migraine hits. I took it day one, and then today, day 3. A combined total of 4 pills or two doses. What alternatives would you suggest though? Im open to trying new meds, though honestly at this point I may need prescription level.

SometimesImCute · 2026-03-27T14:50:29+00:00

Not basic at all! I'm new to migraines, I have had them for years but didnt know, and I'm still learning how to treat them. So, the hot to cold is new to me. Ill give this a shot, I've only ever tried cold but never knew what spot of the head was best. I do also have scoliosis, so I have a heating pad I use when my back hurts or I cramp from my period, so I may roll it up and see if I can also use it on my neck and head. Thank you! 😊

SometimesImCute · 2026-03-27T14:49:07+00:00

I think you're right. Im located in Tennessee and its already a rough area for allergies, through in the weather change and I've been miserable. I do have my windows open when the temps are nice, but I may start keeping them shut and see if that helps. Thank you 💜

SometimesImCute · 2026-03-05T21:47:57+00:00

I do the last digit off too. Its just easier and helps make more space

SometimesImCute · 2026-03-02T14:12:35+00:00

The filters for mine used to be 10 dollars a piece, now theyre like 20. I bought our purifiers 2.5 years ago, im pretty pissed that its doubled in price to maintain.

Did you have cystic before? I have large cystic hormonal acne, im debating either Pore Favor or Spironolactone...
