For some background, I have pcos and was on birth control for 10 years. It helped alleviate some pcos symptoms for a while but then it stopped and I had to go through 4 or 5 different pills. With every kind it’s work for a year or 2 then it would stop, I’d be in pain and bleeding every week, bleed everytime I had sex, and I now realize it really harmed my mental health. And I mean BADLY. I was severely depressed those 10 years, clinically. I decided to get off of it and go on metformin like one of my OBs suggested, and it literally made me have a normal cycle for the first time in my life. I noticed my mood improved DRASTICALLY as well. I ended up getting pregnant but it was very much so wanted and somewhat planned, as in my bf and I weren’t trying to prevent it and talked about wanting a baby, but I wasn’t sure how easy it’d be since I have pcos. It took about 7 months of unprotected sex and I was pregnant. I’m 38 weeks now and the dr I saw was really pushing BC on me even when I explained how much I really didn’t want it. She just ignored me and said I should just get an implant. I understand the dangers of getting pregnant too fast but why do I have to suffer in the process? I’m just very over BC. I plan on getting on metformin again once I give birth. I’d honestly rather use condoms than put myself through that. It just feels so unfair
