Hormonal Contraception: The Pill [General Discussion]
in Women's Health ·
Hi there,
I’m dealing with PCOS, and I’ve been prescribed Logest to help manage it. My main goal here was to clear up my skin, because honestly, I’ve been struggling with breakouts for quite some time now. However, I’m currently on my fourth pack, and I haven't seen much improvement. In fact, during the third month, I dealt with an absolute nightmare of acne—nothing like I’ve ever experienced before. It has finally calmed down a bit, but I’m feeling pretty anxious about whether this current pack will actually make a difference. Is it normal to still be in this "adjustment phase" with birth control, or should I have started seeing real progress by now? A few years back, I took Bela, and my skin cleared up within about three or four months, though I didn't have these massive flare-ups at the time. If you were in my shoes, would you be scheduling an appointment with your gynecologist to discuss switching to a different brand?
