Yeah, I'll have to. Thanks anyway.🙂

I don't touch Always; it just irritates my skin. I stick with Libresse instead. 🤷

Hey everyone, I could really use some advice. This is my first time posting here, so apologies if I’m in the wrong section... Basically, I’m 20 and deal with quite a bit of pain. Last March, I ended up in the hospital after bleeding for 21 days straight. They found several cysts on both ovaries and put me on Diane 35. Everything seemed fine until about two months ago when I had to stop taking them because they were making me nauseous and causing my hair to thin out. Since then, my periods have become much heavier, more painful, and they have this UNPLEASANT ODOR... 😢 My period started yesterday, and there's this bad smell. I’m being diligent about hygiene, obviously, but nothing helps. Within just 10-15 minutes of showering, the scent is noticeable again... I can smell it myself, and I'm terrified others can too, even though there's nothing I can do about it... 🙄 What should I do? Could this be related to the cysts? Please help me! 😢 🙂
