birth control
"I had intense periods, heavy bleeding for a whole month with perhaps a day or two reprieve. In addition to that, I had PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) which would leave me paralyzed with pain. When I started this BC, my life changed. I went from having 24 day periods bleeding intensely with sometimes over 10 cyst bursts a month to.... nothing.

No periods. One a year for three days maximum. NO cyst bursts. Ever. 



Adjusting to it was a fun time (anxiety spikes, however I -have- GAD so take that w a grain of salt), but living without cyst burst or spending money on diaper sized pads made my life so much better. 



Although the cost without any sort of insurance will sting, it's so good while it lasts..."
