@dreis Do they randomly let dudes on this sub?? Like damn! This is supposed to be a safe space and lil bro out here getting his comment deleted for a derogatory slur, and other lil dude is trying to pretend like doctors don't straight up gaslight and lie to female patients all the time. Especially their nonwhite female patients.
Sorry you're experiencing this stuff, and that the commenter is just being a devil advocate to doctors for no reason.
I stopped taking my bc (pills) about 6 months ago, it had been 5+ plus years i was on it before then. But I'm on the subsidized ones through a low income health clinic, and they kept lying to me about switching around my bc every couple months like it wasn't obviously different pills with different hormone levels each time. Went to planned Parenthood to confirm they had indeed been switching around my bc to various types with various levels of hormones. I just decided to get off it all together, as my last period lasted legit 2 MONTHS nonstop, with heavy bleeding and severe cramps the WHOLE time. No nurses/doctors believed me save for at planned Parenthood. Like why would we make stuff up?! We don't WANT to be in pain or to experience wild mood swings at the drop of a hat!!
I hope you feel better getting off it, and back to your usual self soon! You are not alone
