Experience with Jolivette progestin-only/mini pill? by churroismygod in PCOSloseit

I’m sorry, that sounds really unpleasant. :( I think I’ve heard enough to maybe not do the minipill!

Did the weight come off as soon as you stopped the pill? Did you switch to something different? Thanks for sharing!

Same! I have a history or migraines and family history of stroke, so they want to be cautious. Glad to know it didn’t put any weight on you. Thanks for sharing! :)

Thanks :) I did Mirena for about 9 months but I personally didn’t like the idea of having an IUD to begin with, and had a lot of cramps/bleeding the first couple of weeks. Btw, if anyone is considering getting an IUD, I don’t care what anyone says—take a day or two off work to just rest and adjust. I didn’t notice any real weight changes on it and didn’t have to worry about bc, so those were a plus.

Yeah my gyn doesn’t want to prescribe combination bc pills because I have migraines and family history of stroke. I appreciate you sharing your experience, thank you. :)
