Birth control pills for perimenopause
My life has taken a turn for the worse after breastfeeding. Hormonal fluctuations gave me terrible migraines and weakness and i was getting all sorts of symptoms from low estrogen. I had it pre pregnancy all my life but it's exponentially worse now. With the suggestion of my previous endo i tried birth control pills.
1. Microgynon 20: fixed migraines but have me daily headaches, joint pain, dryness, and terrible mood swings and back pain (I'm still going to physio. Does low oestrogen cause back spams? ? Mine hasn't let go).
2. Norimin 28: fatigue, lethargy, feelings of self loathing and anxiety.
My endo did sex hormone tests but I won't see her until June and i think I'm ready to try another birth control pill. I hear sometimes it takes many tries to find the perfect one. I would love to hear from someone who takes it continuously (for hrt, migraine, endomeyriosis) as that's what i do, but i had to stop the norimin 28 due to anxiety. I wonder if i needed a break.
I'm sick of this perimenopause business which i feel I've been having all my life because I've got hashimoto's too and i just want my hormones leveled out. I feel like I'm getting unhinged and it's doing my nut in. Is anyone else going through this?
