Hormonal Contraception: The Pill [General Discussion]
in Women's Health ·
Hi there! 👋
I’ve been using Axira tablets for about three years now—and honestly, I'm really happy with them. They keep my hormones perfectly balanced, and my cycle is as reliable as a Swiss watch, if you know what I mean. However, due to a bit of a slip-up on my part (I totally forgot to go back for my bloodwork and hormone tests this year), I had to skip an entire month of pills. Apparently, I can't get a refill until I finish those tests and see my gynecologist, who's a little busy for another few weeks. In the meantime, I’ve started getting breakouts on my chest and neck—something that *never* happens to me—so I'm guessing it's just because I'm off the tablets? It’s a bit frustrating, I guess—there are quite a few of them—but usually, while I'm on the medication, my skin stays super clear and calm.
