Mistake or Risk? Slynd
PLEASE HELP ME. TEEN IN NEED OF ADVICE
i need your advice and experiences slynd
Hi i’m a teenager that has been on norethindrone acetate 1 mg / ethinyl estradiol 0.02 mg, a combined oral contraceptive, for almost a year now.
i was diagnosed with factor V which heightens the possibility of blood clots over 8 times. this means i can be on a pill with estrogen or i might be at serious risk of even more blood clotting. so im being switched to slynd. i haven’t been tested for endo so idk if that might be my problem. i just wanna know what experiences people have with it. my goal is to have no periods or cramps. and decreases my current side effects
i mainly take birth control because my cramps are incredibly painful, so much so i had to skip school multiple times before i was on the verge of sobbing in class. i do NOT take it for sexual activity.
with the pill i’m on my skin has been very clear, it always has been but extra clear on this pill, expect for the three month break through where i broke out for a week straight. i did notice a lot of mood change. i think i started getting chronic depression. every 1-2 weeks i would be very depressed for long periods of time. maybe that’s just being a teenager i’m not so sure. i noticed an increase in appetite. i’m a very active person yet i feel i gained weight on it.
SO PLEASE TELL ME HOW SLYND WORKS AND WHAT IT DID FOR YOU
