Looks like we’re all dealing with the same symptoms.
Thinking about booking a gynecologist tomorrow, though I'm not sure if I'll actually make it in for an exam this year.
Hopefully she's in a good mood and gives me some solid advice.
If not, I'll just do my own research on the options before the appointment.
Thanks. 🙂
Thanks for the comments, ladies.😍
It’s a relief to see I’m not the only one dealing with this. Reading about your experiences helps.
These pills are driving me crazy. I can't even tell what's a normal side effect anymore. Since stopping birth control isn't an option right now, I'll try to make a logical case for switching brands. My doctor will probably listen, though she's usually running on a treadmill, so negotiating with her isn't exactly easy.
I'll look into some alternatives.
Hopefully, everything works out so I can just forget this whole period ever happened.😁
Hey everyone 🙂
So, I'm wondering if anyone on this thread has switched from Triquilar to something else?
I've been on them consistently for two and a half years now.
On one hand, they were recommended because my PCOS means I can go six months without a period; on the other, there's the protection factor.
The thing is, I'm not exactly thrilled with them.
My appetite is constantly through the roof (granted, I have issues with diet, so that plays a part), and I can't lose weight to save my life—I've put on 20 pounds since starting these.
But the real dealbreaker is the libido drop. It’s huge. I have almost zero drive. I honestly can't tell if it's the pills or just me, since I've been taking them longer than I've been seeing my boyfriend. Maybe I'm asexual? 😁 Doubtful.
Has anyone here switched from Triquilar and dealt with these exact same symptoms? I'd really appreciate some recommendations on alternatives.
Unfortunately, my gynecologists (two of them, actually) basically just tell me to stick with it because my blood work looks fine. My skin is okay, and while I'm about 25 pounds overweight, I'm tall enough that it doesn't show too much.
Anyway, I've rambled. Basically, what should I switch to? What would be the best move for someone in my position? It seems like not many people here use Triquilar.
Thanks in advance!
