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?
When I first started on Logest, about two weeks in, I was absolutely slammed with these deep, inflamed cystic acne spots all over my back, chest, and jawline—I mean, I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. Everything finally leveled out after the second pack, and my complexion was honestly flawless; everything was totally clear.
I did have a bit of a setback recently, after being fine for about a year, but thankfully it wasn't as catastrophic as the first time and cleared up after just one pack. If I were you, I’d probably hang in there for another month or two just to see how things settle before making any drastic moves.
