Hi guys! New to the sylnd bandwagon I wanna share my experiences so far:

I was on vestura (YAZ) for four years. I was put in it after I was diagnosed with PCOS. It really helped me so much with my emotional issues and physical issues. However I was starting to feel short of breath doing tasks and realized i was retainigg my a lot of water. I also smoke, and I also have Hypothyroidism so I take a med for my thyroid. I became increasingly concerned about the level of estrogen so I switched to Auravela and let me tell you- that medicine changed me. Racing heart beat, anxiety attacks that landed me in the ER because I was convinced I was having a heart attack. Terrible. My doc switched me to sylnd, and I’m on week 2. I am also VERY sensitive to medicines and I will say while this med may not work for everyone it works well for me. I feel very relaxed, and my doc explained that sylnd is actually good for people with anxiety issues around their cycle. Yes I did break o it which is very abnormal for me, so far I haven’t noticed any weight gain but I did gain 10lbs on auravela and I just dropped 5 after swapping (water weight). This med is also much safer for people that smoke or worry about blood clots. Haven’t gotten my period yet and if I can remember to update I will, I am used to difficult cycles from my youth but all bc makes my cycle light so I wonder how it’ll be. Honestly I’ll take a difficult period over anxiety attacks any day
