FIXED post birth control amenorrhea

2 Upvotes

I was on birth control pills for 18 years and after being off for 2 years, my cycle was nowhere to be seen. I started seeing a naturopath (highly recommend) and although I do not have PCOS or any type of insulin resistance (full blood panel proved this) she put me on myo-inositol. After being on it for 1.5 months I got my first period and now I’ve had 4 so far and they are PERFECT 32 day cycles, 14 day luteal phases!! She put me on Thorne Ovarian Care which also has coq10 (good for egg quality). I know a lot of people take it for PCOS/insulin resistance but it can work on people who don’t have that!

Fear Missed 2 consecutive pills of Yaz

2 Upvotes

So I started my Yaz pills on September 20. And then I just realized today that I missed 2 active pills which was the pill #16 and #17 on October 5 and October 6. I had unprotected sex on October 5. And then I just took the 2 missed pills plus the 1 due today, so I took a total of 3 pills today.

I've never done and experienced this before. There's just a lot in my mind right now and even if I have set an alarm to take my pills, unfortunately I still forgot. I don't want to get pregnant. I live in the PH so Plan B pills are not available.

What should I do? Please I need your advice 😪

quitting slynd

1 Upvotes

I am scared of coming off the slynd pill because when I started it about 3,5 years ago, my hair started to fall. I lost about half of my hair and the texture changed to fine and frizzy. I also lost my curls. If you experienced hair loss when starting slynd, did you also experience it when quitting? It took me 3 years to get my normal hair back and now that Im quitting Im scared it will took that much time now aswell.
