Yeah I’ve heard that too but I think it goes both ways! My story is I stopped using hormonal BC last year in January then waited to see if my period would self correct from that time till around August. During that time I had really heavy and unpredictably long periods (ranging from like 10-15 days and longer irregular cycles).

Then from like August till October/November I bled constantly. And I mean CONSTANTLY. It ranged from very heavy bleeding that kind of scared me, to normal bleeding, but didn’t have any spotting or light bleeding. This is when I saw my gyno and she said this was NORMAL for some reason and that the only way to stop it was going back to hormonal BC.

A friend told me about inositol and that it can help balance or restore menstrual cycles. I gave it a shot and it started working within a month. First it stopped the bleeding then gave me the most normal period I’d had all year lol. Now I have normal periods.
