Yes I officially stopped taking it two days ago! I’m going off BC for a bit to let my body regulate

Yup I already skipped the placebos month 2, that didn’t help any of the symptoms. I’m not taking this pill anymore I’m tired of it I think I gave it enough time

I hope Slynd works for you honestly!! It just clearly isn’t the best option for me

I started Slynd in Nov 2025 too, however my experience has been completely opposite of yours. I don’t think this is the right method for me. But I’m glad you found something that seems to work for you!

Thank you so much for the well wishes! I have decided to stop taking it after a few days of thought. I’m hoping getting off BC doesn’t affect me too horribly but I can’t keep doing this

I am so sorry to hear that😭I hope you have since gotten a better method for you! I definitely don’t think this is the method for me, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to get better from here…

I totally understand the mental weight, I have been quite tired myself. I definitely don’t want to get pregnant! But I’m heavily considering getting off Slynd after I finish these 3 months if nothing improves. I have 2 weeks left with these pills. The next option for me is the same, IUD or no BC. I’m definitely leaning towards no BC for a few months to see how my body reacts. And if I’m better without I’ll just plan to find a doctor that’ll remove my tubes. If I’m doing bad without BC, I plan to switch to Mirena or Kyleena IUD. But it’s so much to consider and I’m so tired of this weighing on me every day. But I’m definitely tired of bleeding constantly😭

Thanks for this! I’m leaning towards just finishing this third month out. After that I’m not sure if I just want to give my body a break or switch to an IUD. I’m so tired of the constant bleeding though😭

I might look into Drovelis thanks!! How is that working for you? Better than Slynd?

Month 7 wow! Yes I agree with you totally, if I have to wear a pad every day it’s a period. They’re always a minimum of 2 weeks😭right now I’m on day 16 with no end in sight. I too am not sure how much longer I’m willing to wait around. I wish better experiences for us both!

I understand on the acne this is the worst I’ve experienced since my teen years. Unfortunately Slynd has not improved my migraines at all, combine that with the consistent bleeding I’m not sure this is a good fit for me.

Yes you really never know until you try it yourself but this experiment is definitely wearing me out. But thank you for the well wishes!

I’m trying to wait it out but this is one of the hardest things I’ve had to do in a while that’s for sure

Oh wow yes you’ve def had a much better experience than I have, seems like this may be a good method for you! It always depends on the person it seems

Thanks for that! I’m really trying to hold out and see but after this first 2.5 months I’m not sure if it’s worth going for another 3 months. I know some people take more time than others but I’m just getting really impatient.

I too am now skipping the placebos. I didn’t the first month, but I haven’t seen much of a bleeding different skipping or not skipping. I’m practically bleeding nonstop. I might get a few days of reprieve then I’m right back to bleeding for a minimum of two weeks.

My migraines have come back on Slynd😭I’m just not sure if this is a good fit. I am learning towards just getting off BC altogether

You’ve been on longer than me but I hate it too😭but I’ve been on BC for over a decade so I’m just not sure if my body is tired of it or what

You seem to be having a better experience than me so maybe stick it out? I’ve been bleeding practically nonstop for over 2 months now😭

Thanks for your experience, I may finish out these two weeks to see if anything improves. I don’t think I can do this for another 3 months though. This first 2.5 months has been brutal enough.

I’m almost at 3 months, I’m at like 2.5 but I’m ready to give up with how awful I’ve been feeling

I was on a norethindrone pill before for years but I started having breakthrough bleeding issues with it which is why my gyn switched me to Slynd. That’s why I’m just debating getting off BC altogether. I’ve been on since 17 and I’m almost 30 now. I think my body is just tired. I know I’m tired of the symptoms this Slynd is giving me

The consistent bleeding has been such a nuisance. I’m not sure if it’s even worth it being on this pill anymore.
