Why on earth would anyone bother watching or commenting on them?
I mean, obviously, it’s just so incredibly vital that we all have to sit here and empathize with them. It’s a tragedy, really—our local restaurant owners are going to go completely under, and honestly, my heart just bleeds for them while they're busy complaining to the news crews.😢

Allana, women take these pills for a multitude of reasons. I take mine because of endometriosis, some deal with PCOS, others use them strictly for contraception—there are endless motivations. Occasionally, it is simply a matter of addressing a hormonal imbalance that isn't even tied to another underlying disorder.

Alright, thanks... but regarding my own situation, if my hormone levels are actually within the normal range, I'm not entirely sure if I even need to be on the pill despite having PCOS. I suppose I haven't had a full workup on my ovaries yet to see if there's any secondary impact, but aside from some acne, I don't have any issues. My cycles are regular too... which is what's making me feel a bit conflicted about it all.

May I pose a question? I’ve been wondering why gynecologists prescribe birth control pills to women who haven't been diagnosed with PCOS. Does the medication actually provide any benefit in those instances? Furthermore, if we consider PCOS to be a hormonal disorder, is it strictly necessary for blood tests to show elevated hormone levels? In my own experience with PCOS, my hormone levels were perfectly normal...
